I am sure this is something simple that I am missing here when you do
something like:

#model
db.define_table('event',
    Field('description','text'),
    Field('creation_date','datetime', default=request.now),
    Field('start_date','datetime'),
    Field('creator', db.auth_user,default=auth.user.id if
auth.is_logged_in() else 0),
    Field('latest','boolean',default=True))

db.event.creator.represent=lambda id: db.auth_user[id].email

#controller
def tonight():

    from datetime import datetime, timedelta

    now = datetime.now()
    start = datetime.min.replace(year=now.year, month=now.month,
day=now.day)
    end = (start + timedelta(days=1)) - timedelta.resolution

    tonight_query = (db.event.start_date > start) &
(db.event.start_date < end) & (db.event.latest == True)
    events = db(tonight_query).select()
    return dict(events=events)

#view
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>Events Tonight</h1>
<ul>
{{ for event in events: }}
        </li>{{ =event.creator }} : {{ =event.description }}</li>
{{ pass }}
</ul>

The {{ =event.creator }} is still always an integer rather than using
the representation defined in the model (db.auth_user.email).

If I add {{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}} to the view, the table shows
the event.creator field with the correct db.auth_user.email
representation

What am I missing here?
