basically what you ask is already the scaffolding/default app called welcome the only thing in you need do is:
0) used admin to start a new app 1) edit models/db.py and configure uncomment and email settings 2) at the bottom of models/db.py add auth.settings.register_onaccept=lambda form: mail.send(to='y...@...', message='%(first_name)s %(last_name)s registered' % form.vars) 3) done. If you typed more than one line of code, something is wrong.
