Are you saying Field('uuid', default=web2py_uuid(), readable=False,
writable=False) doesn't hide the field (it should)? Can you show more code?
Also, note that default=web2py_uuid() will only set the default value once
per request, so if your code happens to insert multiple records in the same
request, they will get the same uuid. If you want the default to be a
function that gets called once for each insert, then just pass the function
itself as the default, rather than calling the function:
default=web2py_uuid
or
default=lambda: web2py_uuid()
