And with the latest version of web2py, you can now do:
myconf.get('dropdown_choices.tasks')
Note the use of .get instead of .take (.get is a smart version of .take
that does some automatic conversions, including converting comma separated
lists into Python lists -- you can even put spaces after the commas and it
will automatically strip them).
