The datepicker is handled client-side by code in /static/js/web2py.js:
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/applications/welcome/static/js/web2py.js#28.
The datepicker attaches to fields with class "date" and "datetime" (and
there's a time entry widget for fields with class "time"). To disable the
datepicker, you could comment out that line or simply remove/rename the
/static/js/calendar.js file. Alternatively, you could use the server side
DOM to change the form field class to something other than "date".
