Thanks for the reply. But then how do i do interactive debug of the web2py objects from the shell...? If I can either have the shell or the webserver running, but not both, then what if i want to run my application and then access the web2py objects in real time from the shell to know its state. ? By the way, what makes it more interesting to learn web2py is this support from others .... Thanks a lot.
