Hmm, that works for me. Does it work if you do:
db.PhoneNumber.countryTelephoneCode.represent = \
lambda id, r: '%(countryTelephoneCode)s %(countryName)s' % db.Country(id
).as_dict()
Also, confirm that all values in db.PhoneNumber.countryTelephoneCode do in
fact reference existing records in the db.Country table. The error you got
would typically arise if db.Country(id) doesn't return a record.
Finally, consider renaming db.PhoneNumber.countryTelephoneCode to
db.PhoneNumber.Country or db.PhoneNumber.Country_id -- it actually stores a
record id from the Country table, not a countryTelephoneCode. The name
makes the code somewhat confusing to follow.
