See http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Accessing-the-API-from-Python-modules. You can use current.T.

forgot about that one, thx Anthony, think the same code can work in web2py n web3py just set the correct imported modules <path>, seems the web2py have a hidden features that store in current module

We do not want current in Web3py. We do not need it because T is a fixture that takes care of its own thread safety
