web2py: multiple forms in a view

def test():

    form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('cards', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'tbl_card.id', '%(name)s')))
    form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('evo', requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'tbl_evo.id', '%(evo_type)s', orderby=db.tbl_evo.id)))

return dict(form=form)

I want to be able to have multiple SQLFORMS in a single view. How would I do this from one controller function?

For my benefit, how would I call different functions (not named test()) to generate forms in the same view?

First, your code doesn't process the forms, so you would need to call the .process() method on each form. When you do that, you can specify a unique name for each form, which will enable web2py to tell them apart when submitted:

form1 = SQLFORM.factory(Field('cards',
    requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'tbl_card.id', '%(name)s')))
form1.process(formname='form1')

If you want to call separate functions to generate and process each form, you can put those functions in a model file or module and then call them from the test.html view. If you want to use AJAX, a better option is to put each form inside a component using LOAD():

{{=LOAD('default', 'myform1', ajax=True)}}

Have you looked at the manual, specifically:
