to add to massimo's response, i have added some HTML5'ness to my
registration widget:
reg_form = auth.register()
reg_form.custom.widget.email['_required'] = True
reg_form.custom.widget.stage_name['_required'] = True
reg_form.custom.widget.stage_name['_pattern'] = '[\w-]{3,20}'
reg_form.custom.widget.stage_name['_title'] = 'Choose a stagename
of 3-20 characters'
reg_form.custom.widget.password['_required'] = True
reg_form.custom.widget.password_two['_required'] = True
good luck!
