While reading the web2pybook on page http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/5 in the def...return chapter I tried to enter the code into the images shell controller (http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/shell/index/images) to kind of test out both the code and using the shell.
I copied this into the shell from the book: >>>def itemize1(link): return LI(A(link, _href="http://" + link)) the shell returned, "web2py Shell (1, 99, 4, datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 14, 14, 46, 14), 'stable')In [1] : def itemize1(link): return LI(A(link, _href="http://" + link))" I did it again and got, "In [2] : def itemize1(link): return LI(A(link, _href="http://" + link))" There's an error somewhere that's not getting returned an recorded. Trying >>>itemize1('www.google.com') *returns nothing.*
