Simple Image Browser - Error

[David]

I am trying to follow the example here:

http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/138


But I keep getting this error:

The problem is that I don't understand why there is an error on line
20 and there is no line 20 in my controller. I don't understand how
that is getting appended. I thought perhaps it was something I did in
my app but I created a test app and I still get the error using the
code from the link above as a reference.

Google still does not support them. web2py provides a workaround to
execute the filtering at the Python level:

Not as good as if the back-end could do it but useful for small data
sets.

Ah, OK thanks for the info Massimo. You know last week I was thinking
about web2py. Well not about web2py but about a web-framework in
python for GAE. I know w2p supports GAE but I mean a framework that
only runs on GAE. A framework build on top of the GAE framework. I
think it could be really popular, do you know some people who are
starting a project like this or does someone who is reading this have
interests? The problem is that I have not enough knowledge about
Python, GAE or web-development. Anyway, I just think it is dream :p.

Thanks

if you want something simple for GAE just use the built in webapp
framework from Google:

Thanks Massimo! I used the updated code and all is well.
