if you're talking about P 145 in the 2nd edition, those are views that is what is translated, and sent down "the pipe" to the client end (e.g. the browser); -S gives you access to the application context, server side (basically as a controller command line, if you want to think of it that way); the -M includes the models (reads the files from your model folders) into the context.
to have some command line completion, and see things a little better what -S use -M will give you for context, you might install ipython (which has tab-completion; if ipython is installed on your machine, then web2py's -S will use ipython;) On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 12:39 AM, jayvandal <jayvan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I have python25 and installed the source code in web2py_win folder. > i run > python web2py.py -S usa -M > usa is my application name. > I have tried several commands and have not had success > How can I find out what database is being accessed.
