You don't need save the converted value (if the cpu's clicles are not important). You can add a property into your mapper object at the model. http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/adv_datamapping.html#advdatamapping_properties_overriding
You can can read value.b (from b col in database) or value.b_toHtml (whith an automatic conversion from database). ¿Why this is better than a custom view function? Because if in the future the cpu cicles would import. You can create a precalculated b_toHtml col in the database (filled automaticaly by a setter b col in the mapper). Whith a minimal change, you get a pregenerated html from textile. You read the html more times than you update your textile data. If you can do a custom view function yet: http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/stdvars (Custom additions) Excuse my poor english.
