Hello,

I'm learning web2py by working my way through the book (2nd edition).
I hit a road block in Chapter 6 (DAL) page 163 where it says: "A Rows
object is a container for rows.colnames, rows.response" and goes on to
explain that a Rows cannot be pickled or serialized by XML-RPC while a
response object can.  Following the instructions on this page results
in an error about the Rows object not having a "response" attribute.

Looking through the web2py API reference and source code I figured out
that response definitely isn't part of gluon.sql.Rows.  This was
confirmed for me by reading this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/9398eddc5b08ffe4/bf33513d16fef539?lnk=gst&q=book+select+rows+response#bf33513d16fef539

The error still exists in the online edition of the book at:
http://web2py.com/book/default/section/6/5  There is also no mention
of it at http://wiki.web2py.com/Errata_for_web2py_2nd_Edition_Book

Anyways, thanks a lot for web2py.  I'm really enjoying it so far, and
I really appreciate all the effort that has gone into making such a
productive environment.  Keep up the good work!
