See section 4.2 in the manual for an explanation of the argument-URL
convention in web2py (P. 113; http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/docs)
Note: If a controller function takes arguments, it is not exposed to views
(rather, just for server-side use); passing from view to controller is done
through request.args[], or request.vars. For example,
...
<td>{{=A(uname, _href=URL(r=request, f='edit_user',
args=[uname]))}}</td>
...
would be fetched as:
...
def edit_user():
uname = request.args[0]
...
You can see what request vars and args look like by having a look at
http://www.web2py.com/examples/simple_examples/hello6
I hope that helps.
