sorry, i'm sick and really loopy...

let me rephrase ( and this may have changed since last i tested a
while bac )

everything that comes through request.params / submitted to your
pylons app is a string

there are some neat validators that will handle conversions for you,
so everything is seamless / painless

however, lets say that your select field has only these valid ids,
which you know of as constants from your database:

    valid_ids= [0,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34]

but if you choose something like:
   valid= formencode.validators.OneOf( valid_ids )

most will be invalid , because this is really what we want:
   valid= formencode.validators.OneOf( [ "%s"%i for i in valid_ids] )

so...

enter things like mike's neat validator, which is """A combination of
the Int and OneOf validators with a custom message"""

and now you're able to do
   valid= formencode.validators.SelectInt( valid_ids )
