Web2Py shell.
Either at OS CLI or via the appadmin CLI.
I do loads of little experiments/explorations in the shell to try
stuff out quickly before transferring to the text files that make up
the app.

I don't find it terribly useful to use FORM - using SQLFORM or crud is
generally more useful.

Not sure about FORM, but SQLFORM is:
{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{=form.custom.label.myfield}}
> <tr> <td> {{=form.input._name}} </td> </tr>
Likewise
{{=form.custom.widget.myfield}}
> <tr> <td> {{=form.submit}}</td> </tr>
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}

This is the whole point of custom forms, yes - you get all the
benefits of the self-processing forms, whilst retaining the ability to
keep full control of the layout.
