I have fixed my own problem. I had a spelling mistake; 'writable' does
not have an extra e in it!
Upon fixing the problem I needed to make a slight adjustment to the
code to make it work properly. If there are no arguments to the user
function then a redirection to user/login (even if logged in already)
occurs so the code still works.
Here is the adjustment:
def user():
if request.args and request.args[0] in ('register', 'login'):
auth.settings.table_user.username.writable=True
return dict(form=auth())
Now I wonder if there an easy way to also include the username field
for user/retrieve_password ?
