response.view does not change the layout template -- it changes the
template of the action being called (which typically extends a layout
template). When you set response.view = 'public_layout.html', you are
telling web2py to use public_layout.html as the view for the index function
instead of using /views/default/index.html (so index.html never gets
called). Instead, in index.html, you can do something like:
{{extend 'public_layout.html' if [some condition] else 'private_layout.html'
}}
But keep in mind that you won't be able to compile any views that include
expressions in the {{extend ...}} statements, as above.
