The easiest way to do this is probably to use SQLFORM.factory if you do not
want to put the values entered into a database table or SQLFORM if you do
e.g.
In the controller:
def some_form():
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('field1', 'text),
Field('field2'))
return dict(form=form)
And in your view:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form}}
There are several examples in the book in
http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07.
