Yes.
you can do:
import re
from gluon.validator import Validator
class CANADIAN_ZIP(Validator):
regex = re.compile('^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1}
*\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$')
def __init__(self,error_message='invalid!):
self.error_message = error_message
def __call__(self,value):
value = str(value).upper()
if self.regex.match(value): return value, None
else: return value, self.error_message
then use requires=CANADIAN_ZIP()
