Hi Chris. Yeah, have been using formish for quite some time now also
and endorse it as well. It is a nice library and especially like the
fact that both custom and auto-generated forms are possible that
provide same simplicity and convenience. The other serious benefit is
that it is very sm

Form generation libraries that contain validation are very tough to generalize
in a way that lends itself to framework convenience. I think Formish does a
pretty good job here, because it physically separates out a lot of stuff that's
all glommed together in other system (and thus there's schem

I actually looked at this yesterday and it didn't seem to generate forms but
does provide the marshaling + validation. so it seems to me it's similar to
formencode/htmlfill, where I'm looking for something more like tw.forms.

:) I'll have to try this out too. That sounds like exactly what I'm looking

You might also want to look at Malte's repoze.formapi,
see e. g. his blog entry

Personally I can't comment on repoze.formapi vs. formish, as I have
used neither of them yet, but I think both should work well with bfg,

+1 to what Martin wrote, with something else that can only add to the
confusion: recently I have been using Formish (http://ish.io) to do
autogenerated forms. I think both zope.formlib and z3c.form try to paint forms
based on "model" objects; formish doesn't even try. It just lets you create
