In order to apply attributes to a custom form you have to change
form.custom.begin before.
The following code should work:
#view html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{
# add class to form
form['_class'] = "form-horizontal"
# change form.custom.begin
form.custom.begin = XML("<%s %s>" % (form.tag, form._xml()[0]))
}}
{{=form.custom.begin}}
your content form
{{=form.custom.end}}
Moreover, if do you want a form with bootstrap layout you could simply add
formstyle='bootstrap" to the form via auth.settings.formstyle argument
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09?search=auth#Settings-and-messages
avoiding
to customize manually the html of the form.
def login():
auth.settings.formstyle = 'bootstrap'
form = auth.login()
return dict(form=form)
and in the view
{{=form}}
