I put this in my model file and it did exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
Is there a reason my attempts to use sys.excepthook failed? This was
my test code, which triggered the normal web2py exception handling,
which pointed to the "raise" line:
--
import sys
def handler(t, v, tb):
redirect("http://example.com";)
sys.excepthook = handler
raise Exception("should trigger a redirect")
