Whenever an action returns a dictionary, web2py looks for and executes an associated view (and if a view is not found, it uses a generic view if the generic view has been enabled). Are you returning a dictionary because you want to execute a view, or do you simply want to return the entire dictionary converted to JSON? If the latter, wrap the entire dictionary in json.dumps(). If the former, what does the view look like?
