OK - Quick follow up here - I was able to display an blob image using the call:
def list_image(): myid = 1 # test image=db(db.xim.id==myid).select(orderby=db.xim.title) response.headers['Content-Type']='image/jpeg' mystream = image.image_blob return mystream However this renders an image in separate page with no additional info. What I really want is to display the stream as part of a template (within a table) with additional related image info (Title, Comments etc). IOW I want to embed the stream within an html template, rather than as a separate, standalone file. Am I missing piece of the puzzle here?
