You should probably just validate request.vars.photo_image before doing the
insert:
if db.person.photo_image.validate(request.vars.photo_image)[1] is None:
person_id = db.person.insert(company = request.vars.company_id,
photo_image =
db.person.image.store(request.vars.photo_image.file,request
.vars.photo_image.filename))
The validate() method of the field passes the value through all the fields
validators and returns a (value, error) tuple -- if the "error" component
of that tuple is None, that means it passed validation.
