web2py show() function. (explanation of a line of code)

[deepak sandhu]

so this is a function show() which I am trying to understand. in the model I do have a db.image table where I stored some images which is pointed in the function.

the only line I am not understanding here is

#image = db.image(request.args(0,cast=int))

In request.args(0, cast=int) why it has 0 as argument? and what does cast=int does? the complete function is below:

def show():
  image = db.image(request.args(0,cast=int)) or redirect(URL('index'))
  return dict(image=image)

[Mirko Scavazzin]

0=>first arg

cast=int => convert it into int (it is a string actually)

IMHO
