I've worked with paginate.py and had troubles as noted here: http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/a72609b64f365d/44e54f81d348ca67?lnk=gst&q=pagination&rnum=1#44e54f81d348ca67
I decided that moving the submitted form data out of the URL and into a session would solve those issues and also allow for more features. Being new to decorators I looked over the TG decorator code and also did some reading here: http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~micheles/python/documentation.html#introduction The paginate.py code uses the weak_signature_decorator function to allow extra keyword arguments and is structured like so: def paginate(*args, **kwargs): def entable(func): def decorated(func, *args, **kwargs): # <-- My problem is here # Do some stuff output = func(args, kwargs) # Do some stuff return output return decorated return weak_signature_decorator(entable) Note the line I marked above (def decorated ...). I'm still not quite sure what the state of the input is here with respect to the decorated function. The decorated function looks like this: @expose(template="paginatetest.templates.search_results") @validate(form=search_form) @paginate('results', default_order='name') def searchResults(self, test_field='Somebody'): # do stuff I thought at first *args and **kwargs were received just before they were given to the decorated function, but that can't be true because if test_field is not given I get the default 'Somebody'. On top of that, when this occurs: output = func(args, kwargs) I get a formencode validation error. So it looks like the @validate decorator is taking effect when func is called within the paginate decorator and is using the form's validator (validator for AutoCompleteField) to try and validate a unicode string ('Somebody'). So at this point I'm confused about how the decorators are supposed to work and how they are supposed to work together.
