It is actually the IS_NOT_EMPTY validator that strips the whitespace (it
does this so a string containing only spaces will be considered empty). You
can either create your own custom validator, or do something like:
requires=lambda v: (v, IS_NOT_EMPTY()(v)[1])
The above returns the original value along with the error message (if any)
from IS_NOT_EMPTY.
