Thank you all for the replies. Like I said, I'm new with web2py (and web frameworks).
I guess the manual assumes that the reader has some background in other frameworks? These 'little' things were not explained but thank you for elaborating. I looked around at the other frameworks, though all of them were more popular compared to w2p , and I expect, would have more resources for peer to peer support, I like the clean and lean look of the web2py codes. So I've taken this up for studying. Looking forward to learning more.
