hello one and all, i want to store python code as a string in a text field of a table in a db, much like the code we write and store in a web2py view. at the right time, i want to compile the string into executed code and say the final line of the code be: "return = dict(...)". or after the code runs, its main variable would have the return variable contain the keys:values set that can be plugged into {{=xyz}} in a view type string. am i making sense because i am getting punchy from coding all day.
so, i know about the render function to replace the {{=xyz}} in the view. however, how does web2py execute string into code, run it, and return the "return" variable that has the dictionary keys:values generated from that executed code? lucas --
