What kind of error message are you getting?
I assume the request.vars['lesson'] and request.vars.answer are both
indices into their respective tables. However, request.vars will be holding
these values as strings. Without knowing more, I would suggest putting an
int() around those two vars, as in:
answer = db.answer[int(request.vars.answer)]
and then do your test:
if 'y' in answer.is_correct:
# do something
else:
# do something else
Hope this helps.
