Thanks for the input buddy! I found a work around. For anyone else with the same issue here it is:
Deform for sequences use special hidden ordered fields for delimiting where groupings begin and end. If you look at the raw POST data you can see them everywhere named “__start__” and “__end__”. However, Django mangles this in the QueryDict it uses to represent POST data. This dictionary data type cannot have duplicate keys, and does not guarantee order, so you have missing delimiters and everything is out of order. Deform can’t work with this mess. To fix this you need to parse the raw POST data yourself and make sure it stays in order. Python actually has a function to parse raw POST data already and return it as the same structure that deform needs. Just use the parse_qsl() function from the urlparse module. from urlparse import parse_qsl controls = parse_qsl(request.raw_post_data, keep_blank_values=True) appstruct = form.validate(controls) Just remember to change the form enctype under the template 'templates/ form.pt’(directly or via js) from 'multipart/form-data' to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded’, as the parse_qsl() function cannot handle multipart data. That said, you won’t be able to use file upload functionality in your forms. As for finding a solution in Python to parse multipart data, there were none that were simple. They were all very complex and strongly tied to their respective frameworks and librairies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
