i tried it out yesterday, and it's very clean and intuitive.
my only worry is regarding the unicode-behavior
i created a simple form, like:
> class UniInput(Form):
> text = CharField(max_length = 200)
but if i want to render it in a template and it contains non-ascii text,
it fails in /home/gabor/src/django/django/template/__init__.py,
line 745, UnicodeEncodeError.
the code there calls str() on the form, and it's a problem because it
calls Form.__str__, which in turn calls as_table, which returns unicode
data.
which is then converted to bytestring, by the default-charset (ascii),
and that fails.
currently i solved it by sending the form as
"form.__str__().encode('utf-8')" into the context, but that's not that nice.
one solution would be to special-case Form-object-handling in the
template-code. currently it handled unicode and bytestrings, maybe it
could also handle Form instances.
but the real problem imho is that Form.__str__ returns an unicodestring.
the python docs say that "The return value must be a string object."
which i'm not sure how should be interpreted :)
maybe Form.__str__ could encode the unicode data into a bytestring using
DEFAULT_CHARSET?
generally, before django is completely converted to unicode, how do you
plan to integrate the forms (their input and their output) into django?
