Does either Django forms or WTForms support chained validators a la FormEncode? I find this a very useful feature.
Both solutions look really nice - I wonder what the advantages/ disadvantages to using WTForms are, compared to FormEncode/htmlfill? I never had much luck with @validate, so handling the details of form logic has always been a bear with the current patterns.
