It's not the variable referring to the form that needs to be unique (you can simply append the forms together using CAT() or inside a DIV) -- rather, each form has a name stored in a hidden _formname field. It is set by specifying the "formname" argument to .accepts() or .processs().
f = SQLFORM(db.opinions) [more code] f.process(formname='myform_%s' % i.id) When you create the forms, you can do so in a loop and append them all together. However, when a specific form is submitted, you don't want to create and process all the forms again because you only need to create and process the submitted form. So, check for request.vars._formname, and if present, just create and process that one form (use the value in request.vars._formname to set the "formname" argument in the call to .process()).
