[web2py] Re: Newbie Questions.
2) You are right and misunderstood your question.
The fact is on GAE you can have date, time and datetime field types
and you can search by date ==, <, >, <=, >= but you cannot manipulate
dates (+,month,day,year). For example you can do
db(db.mytable.mydatefield>datetime.date(2009,12,31)).select()
but you cannot do
db(db.mytable.mydatefield.year()==20010).select()

Thank you Massimo.
re 1. I noticed that I was looking at wrong views/controllers/etc ,
and my applications DID load. I apologize for the false report.
re 2. I will get back to you on this, on your FAQ I saw that GAE
doesn't allow for time/datetime . I am probably confused.
re 3. Thank you.

This should not happening. I have never heard of it before. Which
web2py version? binary of source? Which windows version? How do you
start web2py?

Field('fieldname','datetime') works well on GAE. Perhaps I did not
understand the question.Try use it and if you enconuter any problem
show us the code.

http://web2py.com/plugins
The list is partial. new ones will be posted. I did not have the time
yet to post users plugins.
