locals() returns the variables in the current namespace -- in the shell, that is the global web2py environment, which includes the web2py API objects, but in a controller function, it is just the function's namespace. You could do f=locals()['IS_IN_SET'] outside a function (e.g., in a model or at the top level in a controller), or instead you could do globals()['IS_IN_SET'] within a function.
