Try it this way:
def bio():
return db.select('bio')
web.template.Template.globals['bio'] = bio
And then:
$for b in bio():
...
Alternatively convert the results into a list and use it as a list:
web.template.Template.globals['bio'] = [b for b in db.select('bio')]
$for b in bio:
...
Second method (if it works at all) should be faster because it only hits
the database once, but you will need to reload/reassign the list every
time a new bio is entered into the database.
I suggest this because, iirc, web.py uses a custom iterable, that can
only be iterated once. After that, it is exhausted and you cannot
iterated again. The way you've set it up, you'd only get to iterate it
once per all requests until the app is restarted.
Of course, it's been a long while since I used web.py so I might be
wrong.
