So, I had put this: from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes(True)
in my primary model, db.py. But, it seemed to do no good. On a lark, I restarted apache (thereby, web2py). And it worked. My subsequent changes to the module now seem to get picked up. It seems it is not enough to put the auto-reload modules thing into a model. After doing so, it seems you have to restart web2py. does this make sense? By, the way I got the whole thing working, but I have so many "self's" in the class it drives me crazy. But, the controller is WAY simple now.
