I actually did this and it worked,
I put this at the top of my module file:
def func():
if auth.user == None:
return "Anon"
else:
return auth.user.first_name
and in my table definition I did this:
Field("auctioner", "string", default = func(), required=True,
readable=False, writable=False)
I just dont know if my approach has performance issues?
