I did it before, something like:
###################################################
rows = db(db.table).select()
for row in rows:
row.update_record(mycomputedfield=lambda r:function(r))
###################################################
where function(r) is the same function I used for the computed field.
Better to run this kind of thing using web2py Shell.
