Right, I knew it looked too easy.
Thanks, Anthony!
Would it be viable to say in models (or controllers):
from gluon import current
current.db = db
Then in modules:
def my_function(current):
db = current.db
session = current.session
request = current.request
response = current.response
Then perhaps futher mimic locals with a decorator by returning them to the
function and/or changing the signature?
Trying to avoid repeating myself...
