Yes, you're missing the -->> counter= ...before the second arg
you're passing:
Your statement:
return dict(message="hello", session.counter)
should be
return dict(message="hello", counter=session.counter)

outside of the string passed to the message variable in the call to

version above this so I coded this instead. As far as the syntax
error, I would be happy to know where it is as I can't see it. And yes
the trace is pointing to a piece of code that doesn't show in my file.
non-keyword arg after keyword arg (default.py, line 14)
and line 14 is the last line of my code that I am showing here.
*return dict(message="hello", session.counter)*

I haven't worked on this since earlier today, but I wanted to reply.
thanks

hm, I checked online book and example you mentioned, contains
variable name in dict function, while your example above, doesn't.
Is this the example you are talking about?
(http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/3#Let%27s-count
<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/3#Let%27s-count>).
def index():
session.counter = (session.counter or 0) + 1
return dict(message="Hello from MyApp", counter=session.counter)

All suggestions that I will check out, but this is
actually character for character from the web2py site. I guess
that's why I am scratching my head. That and the fact that the
debug references text that is not on the page. I am
always leery of platforms that do a lot for you, sometimes you
give up control of important aspects. It points to a line of
code that is in my file and not a dynamically generated
platform file.
but thanks I will check these suggestions out and see what gives.

type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'> non-keyword arg

That code does not exist on the page. The prior code is:
*def index():*
* session.counter = (session.counter or
0) + 1*
* return dict(message="hello",
session.counter)*
the last line is line 14?
Does anyone have an idea of what this is?
