Give me some awesome Web2py Tip & Tricks which makes you more productive

Question

I have been working with web2py following its official web2py book and got to learn too many things. But a book never teaches a productive workflow. I would like to know what workflow you people use to increase you productivity and understanding of the framework as a whole.

Ex: I often use Web2py interactive shell to play with database objects and understand how they work.

Answer 1

I use Komodo Edit for development and Google App Engine for hosting.

To better understand web2py have a look at the files in gluon/ - for example tools.py is fairly straightforward.
