I prefer to work in the old way, used when web2py had no block in views. It
is very easy and pure Python code.
{{def myblock():}}
<html code></html code>
{{return}}
So, in any place of views...
{{=myblock()}}
Obviouslly in this way you cannot have {{super}} and other cool things, but
it is easy to adjust in pure Python, even using classes..
