...Hi Masimo,
Its working when i remove the one asterisk (*)...with two its giving
an error, my db is fine...look at the results:
In [2] : print SELECT(*[OPTION(s.name, _value=s.id) for s in
db(db.file_subject).select()])
<select><option value="1">Information Technology</option><option
value="2">Correspondance</option></select>
In [3] : print SELECT(**[OPTION(s.name, _value=s.id) for s in
db(db.file_subject).select()])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/contrib/shell.py", line 235, in run
exec compiled in statement_module.__dict__
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: type object argument after ** must be a mapping, not list
Thanks for the help...what do the * and ** mean, in the book its not
very clear I have failed to understand.
