Yes, that was the interface I meant. > Well, looks like it's possible to do the schema work somewhere in > load_module. > But how will I use the resulting schema for validation after that? > I will need > to make it available in the controller somehow. Start with the schema in the controller and pass it back to the template engine either via expose (I believe arbitrary arguments to expose will get passed through to the template engine, but I could be wrong, because that's not something I've ever used) *or* via the dict. Just as TurboGears itself uses "tg_*" values that are returned in the dict, you can have your template engine take advantage of things that are returned in the dict.
