Ah thanks, I think Python has a little more magic in it than I realised :-) I've only been doing python got about 100 hours now, so I'm still a relative beginner - in terms of language capabilities that is :-)
One last question though (promise), is it possible to implement a custom validator - for example, to match a regular expression or to check if a value is not already in a database? Or maybe taking a more robust tact, is it possible to raise an error on an input value while a controllermethod is running? That might be a much better option as I can foresee some situations where I only know that some input is not acceptable after doing a fair amount of input. I know I could just flash() a message but having the message appear next to the field would be a lot better. Oh and I was gonna do a TracWIki post, but I can't seem to register for an account. Immediately after I register I get slapped by an HTTP Auth which I won't accept what I just put in. If I just do a blog post on all this will someone link it up?
