But even better was to use tw.dynforms as described here: http://toscawidgets.org/documentation/tw.dynforms/tutorial.html
This gives me a form with a growing/shrinking list of subsamples that I need. I think that a worthwhile addition or change to the documentation would address the fact that the Movie Database advanced tutorial uses Sprox, and then when you begin to use the fancier Tosca Widgets, things stop working until you stop using sprox. At least that's my understanding at this point. This was a pretty confusing way to start off using Turbogears. Aside from that it's fantastic.
