I have this code:

def author(id):
    if id is None:
        return "Unknown"
    else:
        user = db.auth_user(id)
        me=db(db.auth_user.id == 
id).select(db.auth_user.usealiasname).first().usealiasname
        if me==False:
            return '%(first_name)s %(last_name)s' % user if user else ''
        else:
            return '%(aliasname)s' % user if user else ''


I want to check if the user with a particular 'id' wants to use an 
aliasname or real names. However it wont work. i know for sure this line is 
the one that is wrong because without the condition it prints properly. can 
somebody help. i am sure its simple but i cannot seem to figure it out.

me=db(db.auth_user.id == 
auth.user_id).select(db.auth_user.usealiasname).first().usealiasname
