The common use case on my projects is definitely to trim whitespace. The autostrip decorator I found on djangosnippets (http:// www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/956/) is pretty awesome, but I'd prefer not to import that into every project and it would be nice to not call:
> MyForm = autostrip(MyForm) on practically every form I have with a CharField What's the common use case for allowing a user to add a space at the end of a datetime field or email field, or pretty much any text field? It seems like that those situations are in the minority and the strip argument would make things simpler for the simple case while remaining backwards compatible. -Wes On Oct 10, 5:47 pm, Taylor Marshall <taylor.paul.marsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd love to see this change get put in.
