If you need to call other functions from your controller action, you can put those other functions inside (a) the same controller (any function in a controller that starts with a double underscore or takes arguments will not be exposed as a URL), (b) a model file, or (c) a module (from which you would then import it -- see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Accessing-the-API-from-Python-modules ).
