Hi,

The DAL Rows object returned by select is a list.  But often a
dictionary with id as the key is what is needed (ie, a frequently used
lookup table).  Typically I do this...

    item_list = db(db.items.id > 0).select()
    item_dict = {}
    for item in item_list:
        item_dict[item.id] = item

Is there a better way?  Could the framework do this automatically? Or
does the framework already have the feature, it's just that I haven't
worked out how to use it properly?
