STOP PRESS - Got it!
So I've learned something new - *thanks again Anthony!*
Still not paying enough attention to the tracebacks - subsequent errors
were a different problem.
for the record this virtual field definition...
db.person.display_name = Field.Virtual('display_name', get_user_short_name)
with this function...
def get_user_short_name(row):
display_name = "NAME ERROR - unknown person type"
if row.person.person_type == 'CLIENT':
if row.person.referrer_ref:
display_name = '%s %s' % (row.person.referrer_ref,
row.person.first_name)
else:
display_name = 'PAP/%s %s' % (row.person.id, row.person.first_name)
elif row.person.person_type == 'CONTACT':
display_name = '%s, %s' % (row.person.last_name, row.person.first_name)
print 'get_user_short_name(): returning name: >%s< for id >%s<' %
(display_name, row.person.id)
return display_name
produces the varied name format I was looking for
DisplayName: PAP/10 Evelyn
DisplayName: PH 345562 Margaret
DisplayName: PAP/24 Matt
DisplayName: Gilmore, David
