Indeed, and I knew it was ugly.

I simplified my table and instead of having it reference another table, I 
just set wltype to a string and then set  the constraints for the field in 
db.py 

db.osrwhitelistpool.wltype.requires=IS_IN_SET(('ALL', 'REBOOT', 'PING))

Thanks very much for your help Anthony.
