The non-ToscaWidgets way is plain ol' FormEncode but then you're going
lower level.  ToscaWidgets has been positioning itself as the high-end
solution; I don't know of any other that works with Pylons.  So the
real question is, when will ToscaWidgets modernize its dependencies?

Looking at TW's setup.py, the only "ancient" dependency is RuleDispatch.
http://svn.turbogears.org/projects/ToscaWidgets/trunk/setup.py

I recall a discussion about wanting to improve RuleDispatch and spin
it off, but apparently this has not been done yet and there are
insufficient volunteers for it.

I'm stunned that ToscaWidgets would depend on Myghty by default,
especially since it's spun off from TurboGears which prefers
Genshi/Kid.  Maybe they did this as a courtesy to Pylons 0.9.4 and
they could change it fairly easily?

Though looking at setup.py, I don't see how Mako is strictly required
unless you invoke the "Mako extra".  Though I'm not sure how you'd
install an extra with easy_install anyway.
