I think you should be able to construct a dict (or Storage object) to pass
to SQLFORM.factory as a record. The keys of the dict should be the same as
the names of the fields you pass in, and the dict should also include a
dummy "id" key (its value doesn't matter, as it will be ignored in
constructing the form if you set showid=False). Something like:
record = dict(id=1, field1=value1, field2=value2, ...)
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('field1'), Field('field2'), ...,
record=record,showid
=False)
I haven't tried it, but that might work.
