I'm trying to create a query that produces a pivot table.  I have a Project 
and Project Status table.  Each Project has a Status reference field to a 
Project Status and a Manager reference field to an Auth User.

db.define_table('t_project_status',
    Field('f_name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), label=T('Name')),
    auth.signature)

db.define_table('t_project',
    Field('f_name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), label=T('Name')),
    Field('f_description', 'text', readable=False, label=T('Description')),
    Field('f_manager', 'reference auth_user', label=T('Manager')),
    Field('f_status', 'reference t_project_status', label=T('Status')),
    auth.signature)

I would like a table that produces a row for every Manager and a column for 
every Status (which I can then display as a Bar Chart using Google Charts).

This query comes close to at least producing a normalized list, i.e., one 
row for each combination of Manager/Status in the Project table (but not an 
entry for a Status that doesn't exist for a particular Manager, I can't 
figure out how to add a 2nd constraint to the 'left' clause):

    joinquery = ((db.t_project.f_status == db.t_project_status.id) &
                        (db.t_project.f_manager == db.auth_user.id))

    data = db(joinquery).select(
        db.auth_user.last_name,
        db.t_project.f_status,
        db.t_project_status.f_name,
        db.t_project_status.id.count(),
        groupby=(db.auth_user.id|db.t_project_status.id),
        orderby=(db.auth_user.last_name|db.t_project_status.id),
        left=db.auth_user.on(db.t_project.f_manager == db.auth_user.id),
    )

I've started to look at itertools.groupby but was trying to find a DAL 
solution to create the pivot table.

I'm then using this code to create a table for Google Charts using the 
Google Charts Plugin but will need to modify once I get the pivot table 
working:

    datalist = []
    datalist.append(['Manager','Status','Count'])
    for row in data:
        datalist.append([row.auth_user.last_name or 'None', 
row.t_project.f_status or 'None', int(row[db.t_project_status.id.count()])])
