Now, now.  I did not know PythonTidy before, but to be fair one has to
admit, that it does a remarkable job.  I ran the command

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.py' -exec ~/PythonTidy-1.16.py {} {} \;

in the directories "gluon" and "scripts" and the command

find . -maxdepth 9 -name '*.py' -exec ~/PythonTidy-1.16.py {} {} \;

in the "examples" directory, and web2py started up ok and some quick
testing did not reveal any errors.  I did not check the docstrings,
but they seem to be in place.

It is clear that such a big code-reformatting has to be double checked
using diff before committing the changes, but it gives a good start
compared to do all the editing manually.  Maybe PythonTidy could also
be tweaked a bit to get more suited results.

I am just afraid that seasoned Python programmers look at the examples
and get scared away because of the currently quite unfamiliar style.

Kind regards,
Markus
