I want to negate a value with this expression:

db(db.table.lft > 0).update(lft = 0 - db.table.lft)

but I get the following TypeError:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'Field'

My workaround is:
db(db.table.lft > 0).update(lft = db.table.lft - db.table.lft - db.table.lft)


*It seems that update expression need to start with the field or do I miss 
something?*
