The 'requires' attribute of a field has to be a validator or list of 
validators (validators are callable objects), not just any boolean test. I 
think you'll need a custom validator: 
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/07#Custom-Validators. You might also 
consider using an 'onvalidation' function with your form:
