That's not the way to check for posted variables. request._post_vars is
populated lazily the first time request.post_vars (or request.vars) is
accessed. You should simply check directly for
request.post_vars.stripeToken (which is the only field that will be posted
to the controller).

Notice in your code you are loading a Stripe Javascript script. Once
loaded, that script generates the form you are seeing in the DOM. That form
is what the user fills out, and it is submitted directly to Stripe, not to
your web2py server. Stripe then returns the "stripeToken" to the browser,
adds it to a hidden field within your form, and submits that form to the
web2py controller.
