How do I get the port no on the server (on which web2py app is deployed) from inside the web2py application (for ex. controller or module)?

I am using urllib to interact with another action inside the controller by doing this

response = urllib2.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:8000%s?%s'%(URL('unregister_relationship.json'),urllib.urlencode(data))) 
response = json.loads(response.read())

but this needs port no to be known beforehand, I want it to be dynamic.

The URL() helper takes scheme and host arguments to generate an absolute URL. Also, no need to use urllib.urlencode to generate the query string, as you can pass a dictionary as the vars argument:

urllib2.urlopen(URL('unregister_relationship.json', vars=data, scheme='http', host=True))

As an alternative, you might also consider using JSON-RPC to allow the two apps to communicate.
