In web2py you would do

CLASS_TYPE = (('field1', 'Field1'), ('field2', 'Field2'))

db.define_table('myclass',
    Field('type', length=12, requires=IS_IN_SET(CLASS_TYPE)),
    Field('name',length=10),
    Field('set','boolean',default=False),
    Field('isset','boolean',default=False),
    Field('enable','boolean',default=False),
    Field('source','reference source'))

Then you can do

rows = db(db.myclass).select() # kind of like MyClass.objects

The difference in philosophical because:

1) In web2py methods maps 1-1 into SQL, in Django no
   db.table.insert(...)
   db(...).select()
   db(...).update(...)
   db(...).delete()
2) In web2py SQL TABLES are difference instances of one class Table, in 
Django each table is its own class
3) In web2py a record is a Row object (like a dict) while in Django a 
record is an instance of the corresponding class. 

The problem with the latter which motivated web2py is the results of joins 
and aggregates? What classes are those rows? In web2py they are always Row 
objects. They can contain columns from multiple tables or results of 
expressions that are not associated with any of the original tables and the 
syntax is always the same.
