no, but there is a retrieve_username.
Mind that web2py knows how to handle a field called username. Have you
tried just the following?
...
Field('username', length=32, label="User Name")
...
db.auth_user.username.requires = [IS_LENGTH(minsize=3,
error_message="Three or more characters required"), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,
table.username)]
def user(): return dict(form=auth())
