Think I've found a solution:
in db.py:
session.tabledescriptions = {}
session.tabledescription['blah'] = "Whatever"
in appadmin.html index handler:
...
{{=session.tabledescriptions['table']}}
...
Seems to work correctly as long as all tables have descriptions and
raises a decipherable error.
Any known problems with using session this way?
Cheers,
Mike
