What you're looking for is called a "slug". Web2py makes it really easy, since it already has a validator that can create a slug: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators?search=is_slug
Last time I implemented this was for a concert site, creating a slug from the concert name, location, etc. Then I used the precreated slug together with the concert id in the URL args, displaying something like domain.com/concert/917/artist-city-date-venue-something-something-etc. to visitors. Basically, the id is needed, the rest is just there for the show (and SEO).
