Thank you, that works! Along the same line, would we then use "!" or "~" for not, and "|" for or? Do you know if this is documented in the book or is it only documented in the code/API?
If Massimo reads this, I would suggest that an eventual feature to add to web2py is for query objects to allow Python-like complex boolean expressions by overriding the key words "and", "or", and "not".
