Note, the session is unique per user, so it doesn't make sense to store a 
global value in the session, as you are unnecessarily storing a separate 
copy of it for each user. Instead, just create a constant somewhere in a 
model file and use that in your table definitions:

DECPLACES = 7

Or if the only place you need that constant is in defining decimal fields, 
just store the entire field type as a constant:

DECFIELD = 'decimal(100, 7)'

Then in your table definitions:

db.define_table(..., Field('myfield', DECFIELD, ...))
