Massimo, whats the right syntax to pass the variable to smart_query? U mentioned list. But [db.table.field] gives u the dal object n the code given me a error on line 110 in methods.py . U have isinstance (fields, (list, tuple))). So I believe smart_query takes in list or tuple. But how do I create a list or tuple from dal? I asked cuz it gives me a run time error. If I do db ().select (db.table.field) that makes a set. What will make a list/tuple so isinstance will b satisfied? Whats the right way to pass that variable into the routine. It cant b [db.table.field]. On Mar 6, 2015 1:06 PM, "Massimo Di Pierro" <[email protected]> wrote:
