I am not sure it is a good idea to modify a system library like
gluon.tools.py, anyway

in class Auth, you should have access to self.environment.request.vars

So how can I grab last_name during a register function and save it
to an already defined table?

Thanks

gluon/tools.py is a module and it is imported before your app is
executed. The web2py globals variables are not exposed there.
