[web2py] request.args returns each arg as string

[Annet]

I posted a question asking why this doesn't work:

if request.args(0)==1

the answer: request.args returns each arg as string

However, in my application I use this multiple times:

rows=db(db.node.id==request.args(0)).select(db.node.ALL)

where id is of type integer and not string. What is the difference
between the first use request.args(0) and the second use?


Kind regards,

Annet.

in the second example the DAL query operator == is taking care of trying to
convert your data to the right type.
