[Zope3-dev] __repr__ of ValidationErrors in zope.schema

2007-08-24 Thread Christian Zagrodnick
Hi I'm implementing the getValidationErrors thingy right now and once again stumbled upon the ValidationErrors. Their __repr__ is all but useful. For instance TooSmall: TooSmall(8, 10) 8 10 Another sort of related issue is that you only get the __doc__ string when calling the .doc()

Christian, I understand the use cases and I see how using the skin concept for XMLRPC is tempting. But couldn't you have done this is in an extra package? This way, you wouldn't have had to touch at least three different zope.* packages *and* risk breaking stuff for the others with something
