I am building my website using web2py on WebFaction. I have a
PostgreSQL database on WebFaction called dlawrence_test1.
When I attempt to create a connection to that database using the
web2py shell as described in the manual, the command executes without
any errors. But when I try to access the connection variable, an error
message reports that the connection variable is not defined.
Can anyone explain this and tell me what I am doing incorrectly? Thank
you.

------- web2py shell -----
In[0]: dbpg = DAL('postgres://dlawrence_test1:****@localhost/
dlawrence_test1')
Out[0]:
In[1]: print dbpg._name
Out[1]:
Traceback (most recent call last):
