No, redirect() does not append a "#". Rather, it simply returns a 303
response to the browser along with whatever URL you provide.
I assume what is happening is that you are submitting a form from the
browser. By default, the action attribute in a web2py form is "#", which
sends the request to the current URL but with a "#" appended (note, the "#"
doesn't get sent to the server, so the server doesn't know about it). Your
form processing action probably redirects to another URL. When the browser
processes that redirect, it will retain the "#" on the redirect URL.
If you want to remove the "#", set your form action to "" (technically
incorrect, but should work -- web2py used to do that but changed to "#"
because an empty action is technically invalid).
