When you use db.rates.clicks.max(), the resulting key with which you must extract the returned values is not "clicks" but the SQL code generated by the .max() method. That is why the book recommends you store the Expression object returned by .max(), which can be used as the key: max = db.rates.clicks.max() sim = db((db.rates.item_id==request.args(0)) & ~(db.rates.user_id==auth.user.id)).select(max).first()[max] Alternatively, you could do: sim = db((db.rates.item_id==request.args(0)) & ~(db.rates.user_id==auth.user.id)).select(db.rates.clicks.max()). first()['MAX(rates.clicks)'] In this case, str(max) == 'MAX(rates.clicks)'.
