Thanks for the info Anthony! I'll try one of those approaches. Why is validation run before compute?

However, you can instead set required=True. In that case, any time you do an insert or update, if the fields needed by the computed field are missing, the computed field will trigger an exception (you'll have to catch the exception). Alternatively, you could add IS_NOT_EMPTY validators to the fields that are needed by the computed field -- as long as those fields are not empty, neither will the computed field be.
