If you need it in a view {{from gluon.contrib.autolinks import expand_one}}
Mind that expend_one may call a service (oembed service). This may may delay the generation of the page and even block it if the service is not available. The second argument of expand one is a dictionary and it uses to cache the expanded links. You can do {{=expand_one(' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yvt2Pt6LRA',cache.ram('mycache',lambda:dict(),3600))<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yvt2Pt6LRA')> }} and this will keep the expended links cached for 3600 seconds in the dict() The dict will be persistant in ram.
