Sorry for long reply delay. I subscribed to messages in this thread, but didn't recieved any notifications for some reason. Yes, I found this debugging solution very handy. It could be transparent for newbie, but useful for experienced user. Group user ceej discovered another logging Firefox extension, FirePython: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/4629c3984a66cb07 I will check this out and will try to produce some code for merging with web2py trunk and a bit of documentation.
