If the data are from the database, in your model definitions, you can specify the "represent" attribute, which is a function that takes the value (as well as the entire row) and can output whatever you like. It is automatically used in the grid, SQLTABLE, and in read-only forms, and you can use it more generally via rows.render() <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Rendering-rows-using-represent> .
Alternatively, you could use filter_out <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#filter_in-and-filter_out> or SQLCustomType <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Custom-Field-types--experimental-> to have the DAL automatically transform values when selected from the database (in this case, though, you will lose the original values -- only the transformed values will be held in the Row objects). If the data are not from the database, then no, you have to use Python code to specify how you want them displayed. You can, of course, write a simple wrapper function customized according to your preferences.
