Thank you all for your help. My problem is that -as Diez points out- I
completely botched the definition of mainMenuForm. Simply
instantiating class MainMenuForm was not correct. What I did that
worked was to define mainMenuForm as follows:
mainMenuForm = widgets.TableForm(fields=MainMenuForm(),
submit_text='Create New Batch')
This is close to Diez's suggestion except instead of creating a List
Form, I opted to create a Table Form. The only reason for this is that
I have been trying to understand Turbogears mostly from the Prentice
Hall book and that's what they show on page 68. Thanks to Diez, I now
understand that Table Form is just one of several forms I can use.
Again, thank you all. This has been very helpful to a newbie like
myself.
