Nobody is answering your question, so I'll take a crack at it. Mind you,
I'm not a contrib or anything, just an enthusiastic user so caveat emptor...
Rows objects are just a form of BasicStorage object, which makes accessing
dictionary items easier with the attribute ("dot") syntax. I've "smuggled"
(love the metaphor) data items into rows many times. Like, when I'm
processing some of the fields into new values and I want to pass them along
with the original data for display later.
But know that this is not a strictly supported use of Row. It has a lot of
magic that it can do, such as "delete_record" and "update_record", as well
as the useful filtering and combining of Row objects via Rows containers.
Realize that some of this magic may break if you add your own stuff to the
Row and then expect it to behave normally.
Another possibility is to create your own Storage object. You can
initialize a Storage object directly from a dictionary just by
foo=Storage(mydict). I recommend you spend some time in the web2py source
code -- there is SO MUCH hidden in there that you will find it a constant
source of amazement. Get a IDE such as Wing or others -- it makes it easy
to delve into the source of web2py because you can go straight to a class.
