Thanks for the update!

I'm passing all of the fields needed by the compute function. It looks 
something like this:

        dct_new_user = { fields here }
        # new_user = db.auth_user.insert(**dct_new_user)
        new_user = db.auth_user.validate_and_insert(**dct_new_user)

The former calculates the computed field, but the latter does not.
