I don't know workflow engines in the general sense that well. I once 
created a full documentation management system where each document couple 
have a workflow assigned to it. The workflow (predefined, or created 
on-the-fly) would push the document around from person to person, ensuring 
that each person completed their step in the time allotted, otherwise an 
email would get sent to their manager.

Would a workflow engine allow me to do the same thing, or is this a 
different type of workflow engine?

There is no ubuntu official package as far as I can see, so you will have
to follow the installation information explain into the tar ball available
here : http://www.hforge.org/itools/

Then :

from itools.workflow import Workflow

And the rest is explained in the docs :

http://www.hforge.org/itools/docs/workflow/

I think you will pretty much have to build your own logic to make use of
workflow for given objects (tables and rows)...

But there is surely a way that this lib could be included into web2py core
so we can make use of workflow utility readily.

I know it in french, I didn't find it in english :

And what about XPDL? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPDL
