Is it possible to define a Colander schema with fieldnames that aren't valid Python identifiers? I want to validate the settings in my INI file at application startup, both to ensure that any exceptions are raised immediately rather than later, and to convert values to their proper types so I don't have to use asbool() etc everywhere. But INI files have keys like "sqlalchemy.url" which can't be declared in class-attribute syntax. FornEncode has a 'fields' attribute for this, which lets you define fields as a dict.
I ran into this problem earlier and decided to use FornEncode, but now I want to make my app Python 3 compatible and FormEncode is not yet ported to it. Also, does Colander have flags equivalent to FormEncode's 'allow_other_keys' and 'filter_other_keys'? Because the settings may have keys not mentioned in the schema, which should be preserved. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
