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, ...))
