Python makes a distinction between positional and keyword arguments to functions. When web2py calls the represent function, it passes the value of the field and the entire Row object as two *positional *arguments (the field value as the first argument and the Row object as the second). Therefore, it does not matter what you name those arguments when you define the function -- call them whatever you want. You can call them "id" and "row", "value" and "record", "foo" and "bar", or anything at all. When the field in question happens to be a reference field (and therefore stores the IDs of records from another table), it is common to call the first argument "id" to indicate it is a record ID -- but that is just by convention.
