I think you may be confusing push and pull MVC models. web2py is a push
model. Consequently, views cannot call controllers, rather is the
controller that is run and what it returns is applied to a predefined view.
Instead of printing the output, assign it to a variable and wrap it in a
dictionary. Return said dictionary...like so:
output = "Ping output goes here"
return dict(pingout=output)
If you don't have a view for your page, the default view will display
the contents of the returned dictionary. Otherwise, you can make a view
that displays pingout like so:
{{=pingout}}
