db "person" with 2 fields:

    db.define_table('person',
        Field('firstname', type='string'),
        Field('familyname', type='string'),
        .....
    )

Need to make this table visible in SQLFORM.grid / SQLFORM.smartgrid, or 
SQLTABLE based on a JOIN query:

    q = ((db.person.id == db.othertable.person_fk))

    rows = db(q).select(db.person.firstname, db.person.familyname)

Due to the JOIN, several rows have the same person, 
but every person may be displayed only once.

So tried this:
    t = SQLTABLE(rows, *distinct = True*)

But still the same person is shown several times in the table.
In fact I need the combination of "firstname" + "familyname" to be distinct.

I read in the book that "distinct" can also be an expression. Can this help 
in this case?
And then what is the syntax?

Thank you for your help
