web.py:How to make a Hyperlink download a file

I try this <a href='./number.xls'>download</a>,but it didn't work. I know that links get different in web.py, but I just want to know how to click the link and download a file just like we used to do in a static environment.

When you say 'just like we used to do in a static enviroment', do you mean you're generating the number.xls file dynamically? Try setting the Content Disposition header if you are

Store those files in the static directory along with your web.py application. Then use <a href='static/number.xls'>download</a>.

This should work find like you have it.

download is the proper syntax for this operation. Maybe try setting the target from self/blank to new window.
