Regarding your first issue:
When doing multiple selects, a form post just lists identical values
like this (oversimplification, but you get the point):
french=mustard&french=fries&french=wine
The problem comes when webpy tires make a dictionary out of these, it
gets identical keys, so only the last value 'sticks'. The way around
this is to specify that you're expecting a list of variables like so:
web.input(french=[])
So, you could call:
f = myform()
if not f.validates(web.input(french=[])):
print f.render() #you know the rest
else:
web.debug(f.d) #debug the form values, you'll see the list come up
and then create a new Validator like this:
form.Validator('select at least 1', lambda x:len(x)>0)
It's not terribly elegant, but there are ways to make it work.
About your second point, you can always just call web.input() to get
user input -- it'll create a dictionary of all variables posted. That
way you can check out the input without validating (but, again, it's a
dictionary so multiple items won't work).
Hope this helps,
Justin
