OK try:
db=DAL()
db.define_table('x',Field('number','integer'))
if db(db.x).isempty(): [db.x.insert(number=i) for i in range(10)]
from gluon.dal import lazy_virtualfield
class MyVirtualFields(object):
# normal virtual
field
def normal_shift(self): return self.x.number+1
# lazy virtual field (because of
@staticmethod)
@lazy_virtualfield
def lazy_shift(self,row,delta=4): return row.x.number+delta
db.x.virtualfields.append(MyVirtualFields())
for row in db(db.x).select():
print row.number, row.normal_shift, row.lazy_shift(8)
It is better? We have one new API and one import. I do not like so
much the try of adding a __lazy__ attribute to the function because,
in the future the function may be a class with a __call__ method and
te decorator would mess up class attributes.... perhaps we should
this dicusssion and tests on web2py-delevelopers
