I could do that, but I pass a tuple... I know that an hard parsing since most of the time trailing comma is just strip out I think... I saw a tuple in the DAL : https://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/detail?r=6eed7c7e3ab5
So, I thougth it could take a tuple as well... Your solution seems cleaner then a tuple anyway. Thanks Richard On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 3:16 PM, Niphlod <niph...@gmail.com> wrote: > uhm.....
