I see. I thought you were referring specifically to the admin app
controller as magic, but its really the entire web2py concept of a
controller being executed in a global environment rather than imported.

For me, magic is anything that supplies context or functionality that is
not visible in the usual python manner. For example where the default.py
controller file looks like normal python and mostly behaves that way but
has a whole lot of magic going on in terms of variables it can access.

A very fair question.
I'd like to define a class that inherits from the controller class set up
in the magic stuff. In that class I'd define the replacement edit method.
I'd then have some code indicating that the files for the specialised app
are to be searched for in the source app folders and i
What sort of solution do you envision?
