How about
#model
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user'] = [Field('personal_info','text')]
#controller
def profile(): return dict(user=db.auth_user(request.args(0,cast=int)))
#view profile.html
{{extend
'layout.html'}}<h1>{{=user.first_name}}</h1><p>{{=user.personal_info}}</p>
Mind that profile() should only be exposed in HTML (not JSON, XML, etc)
unless you filer the fields, else it may expose personal info.
