Alright, I'm burned out on trying to solve this.
I'm trying to make a form that checks if two fields match, like
password + verify password. I noticed in the book that there's an
example of this, but I can't seem to get it working. The code given is
as follows (this is with a typo correction, a quote is missing in
IS_EXPR in the book):
def index():
match_it = IS_EXPR('value==repr(request.vars.password)',
error_message='passwords do not match')
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('username', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('password', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('password_again', requires=match_it))
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
pass # or take some action
return dict(form=form)
I run this code exactly, and while it works for displaying the page,
as soon as I submit the form I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gluon/restricted.py", line 178, in restricted

NameError: name 'request' is not defined
Now I imagine this is happening because the IS_EXPR code doesn't have
access to the request global. If this is the case, then how can I
achieve the result I'm looking for, and why is this example in the
book?
