I haven't tried this, but the first direction I'd consider would be to find a C library for parsing JSON and call the read methods with a .json extension. See the web2py book for more about getting json results from web2py controllers. Also, if the rules of your class permits it, you could consider embedding iPython in your C code and take advantage of Python's internet libraries.
Other folks may have some better ideas ... Cheers, Mike On Oct 30, 5:52 pm, Ialejandro <ialejandr...@gmail.com> wrote: > but what's the best way to retrieve rows from web2py? >
