The problem is that when you set a length=1 you should get a default
IS_LENGHT(1) validator but because you specify the IS_UPPER() validator you
override the default. This will do what you ask:
Field('name', 'string', length=1, requires=(IS_LENGTH(1),IS_UPPER()))
Without the check sqlite may allow you to store longer strings in there.
Not sure.
