Great - that works :) - I'm just beginning my journey with web2py :) So now another question - can I use validators (IS_SLUG for ex) outside forms or database models?
I have words (with Polish accents) that I want to convert to SLUG/URL like strings (no accents). Normally I would use Pythons unicodedata module but since I found out about validators I'm just wondering if they're also accessible to convert any string (would be useful in views) I like using them.
