We are moving away from this because of many problems. Try this
instead. It is still experimental but may go into stable soon.
def vfields():
db.define_table('item',
Field('unit_price','double'),
Field('quantity','integer'))
db(db.item.id>0).delete()
db.item.lazy_total_price=Field.lazy(lambda
self:self.item.unit_price*self.item.quantity)
db.item.bulk_insert([{'unit_price':12.00, 'quantity': 15},
{'unit_price':10.00, 'quantity': 99},
{'unit_price':120.00, 'quantity': 2},])
res = []
for r in db(db.item.id>0).select():
res.append([r.unit_price, r.quantity, r.lazy_total_price()])
return dict(res=res)
