== Model ==
Defines databases in: {{{/models/module.py}}}

The Models are loaded 1st within Web2Py processing, before the controllers.[[BR]]
So you can import any global modules/set any global variables here.[[BR]]
The Models are imported in alphabetical order, so we load the files which other modules depend on 1st, hence naming them appropriately:[[BR]]{{{000_config.py}}}, {{{01_crud.py}}}, {{{02_pr.py}}}, {{{03_gis.py}}}, etc

== Controller ==
Python functions in {{{/controllers/module.py}}} [[BR]]
e.g.
{{{
   def list_records():
       items = crud.select(table)
       return dict(items=items)
}}}    

== View ==
HTML/Javascript templates in {{{/views/module/function.html}}}
 * these are normal HTML/JS files with the ability to add in Python code (e.g. variables) surrounded by brackets: {{ interpreted python here }}
 * there should be an .html file available for each function in the module (name normally being the same as the function)
 * these normally inherit from {{{views/layout.html}}} which also includes the !JavaScript from {{{views/*_ajax.html}}}
 * if there is no view defined then a default view will be displayed, which will show the values of all the data it can see, but not be formatted nicely

Static CSS/Javascript files are stored in {{{/static}}}
