Having used Udi's additions to Web2py to get basic authentication using
LinkedIn working I'd like to interact with the LinkedIn API.
I can get to this functonality using linkedin.py (by Ozgur Vatansever) in a
controller using "auth.settings.login_form.session.linkedin"
e.g., auth.settings.login_form.session.linkedin.get_search(...)
this "auth.settings.login_form.session.linkedin" feels rather brittle. Is
it? Is a better way to access the function get_search() ?
