Consider the following pseudo model.

item
 ->name = "string"

version
 ->item_id =  item.id
 ->version_date = "datetime"


While I can easily create a collection of the item with it's versions.
all_items = db((db.item.id > 0) & (db.version.item_id == 
db.item.id)).select(orderby=db.item.name | db.version.version_date)

How do get just all items with just the latest version of each item without 
having to do this....
items = []
current_id = all_items.first().item.id 
for thing in all_items:
    if thing.item.id != current_id:
        current_id = thing.item.id
        items.append(thing)

It seems a bit silly and heavy to be doing this especially since my data 
could get quite large.  I imaging the database has some way to do this, 
just never learned how.

Ideas on how this could be done?

BR,
Jason Brower
