[web2py] vars vs. kwargs

[Pawel Jasinski]

hi,
it is cosmetic, but can be a pain for someone no so familiar with
python.
In examples for restful api:

def index():
    def GET(*args,**vars):
        patterns = [
            "/persons[person]",
            "/{person.name.startswith}",
            "/{person.name}/:field",
            "/{person.name}/pets[pet.person]",
            "/{person.name}/pet[pet.person]/{pet.name}",
            "/{person.name}/pet[pet.person]/{pet.name}/:field"
            ]
        parser = db.parse_as_rest(patterns,args,vars)
        if parser.status == 200:
            return dict(content=parser.response)
        else:
            raise HTTP(parser.status,parser.error)
    def POST(table_name,**vars):
        if table_name == 'person':
            return db.person.validate_and_insert(**vars)
        elif table_name == 'pet':
            return db.pet.validate_and_insert(**vars)
        else:
            raise HTTP(400)
    return locals()

after copy paste everything is ok, but the problem is waiting to
happen ...
vars hides built-in vars function.

cheers,
pawel
