[TurboGears] Form display and form validation in one controller method.

[Matthew Bevan]

Howdy! Is there a way to have a single controller both produce the form and validate it (taking appropriate action as needed)?  I.e. I want to have the following, but if I try it always assigns errors to my empty (not-yet-submitted) form... @expose(template="myapp.templates.genericform") @validate(forms.signup) def signup(self, tg_errors=None, **kw): if tg_errors is True: turbogears.flash("error::" + _("There were errors processing your request.")) elif tg_errors is False: transaction = M.hub.begin() try: # Create account, sign in, and send confirmation e-mail. pass except: transaction.rollback() raise transaction.commit() turbogears.flash("success::" + _("Success message!")) turbogears.redirect("/") data = ""> data.update(**kw) data['password']['first'] = "" data['password']['second'] = "" return dict( title=_("Create Account"), description=_("Enter your information below to get started."), form=forms.signup, action=""> data=""> ) I'd expect tg_errors to remain None if the form hasn't even been submitted yet.  Even simply having a hidden field or GET argument, say _trigger, which the validate decorator looks for before attempting validation would be good.
