pyramid_simpleform + Colander is at a dead end. colander + deform already works fine (deform depends on colander; it cannot work without it). "Complete out of the box option for form processing" is very much in the eye of the beholder. There is no one solution to the problem. Some people want pixel-level control over forms, which usually implies they want to drive a form helper in their own templates. For other people who have lots of forms, this would be a complete lose, because it's a lot more valuable to have complete consistency across forms and easy form rendering than it is to have aggressive pixel-level control over how the form is rendered. I'd considered trying to build simpleform-like capabilities into deform as another mode. But considering I don't really use deform right now, I'd hate to add more code to it that I don't actively maintain. - C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
