Massimo, > Not sure I undestand. This goes in a module? not a model?
The example shows that it can go in either or both. You could put it in a module and then import it into a controller to import actions into one specific controller. You could put it in a model to add an action to all controllers. The first time a controller is requested, the controller is exec'ed, the resulting environment is searched for functions of no args that have the specific attr that was set by the decorator, these actions are merged with the actions found with the regex. All the possible controller_action.pyc is compiled and stored like usual, now you can call actions that were created in the models or imported from a module (crud, resources, admin, stats etc).
