should be:
query = db.user.name==uname
you really need to download / install ipython first (
http://ipython.scipy.org), and get used to trying your expressions in a
shell to see what they return:
python web2py.py -S myapp -M
>>> uname="Mytest"
>>> query= db.user.name==uname
etc.
The problems you are having are basic programing things (not even so much
python), so you might want to get something like wingIDE (there is a 30 day
trial that is given out in 10-day chunks, so prepare and use like the
dickens for 10 days at a stretch, single step a LOT and observe local
variables and their values as you go - then digest what you've learned) -
