I am trying to create a short validator that limits the number of children 
that can be listed under one parent but I'm having a problem with the 
highlighted line because I cant use *parent.id *to specify the selected 
parent when the parent variable is referenced outside the validator 
function. I rightfully get:
*<type 'exceptions.NameError'> global name 'parent' is not defined*

Anyone on ideas on how to work around this?

def my_validator(form):
*    if db((db.children.id>0) & (db.children.parent==parent.id)).count() 
>=10:*
          form.errors.children_names=SPAN("The number of children has 
exceeded the required number")

def registration():
   * parent=db.parent(request.args(0, cast=int)) #referenced outside the 
validator function*
    db.children.parent.default=parent.id
    form=SQLFORM(db.children)
    if form.process(onvalidation=my_validator).accepted:
        response.flash=T('Client Registered')
    return locals()
