Hello Annet!
Your example helps a lot! I'm not yet familiar enough with web2py/
python to realize that I could just extend the empty user() controller
(and I don't think I came across an example in the web2py book or the
online examples).
Since I already had my own my_profile() controller, what I did is,
def user():
...
if request.args(0)=='profile'
my_profile_dict = my_profile()
return my_profile_dict
...
I don't know if that's proper usage/style for python/web2py, but it
works fine!!
Thanks!!!
Luis.
