before_insert ....


def this_is_before_insert(some_dict):
    if 'last_name' in some_dict:
         some_dict['last_name'] = 'altering' + some_dict['last_name']

db.auth_user._before_insert.append(lambda f: this_is_before_insert(f))

>>>db.auth_user.insert(first_name='john')
1L
>>> db.auth_user.insert(last_name='doe')
2L
>>> rtn = db(db.auth_user.id>0).select(db.auth_user.first_name, db.auth_user
.last_name)
>>> print str(rtn)
auth_user.first_name,auth_user.last_name
john,

before_update ...

def this_is_before_update(a_set, some_dict):
      if 'last_name' in some_dict:
          some_dict['last_name'] += 'was_updated'
