Thomas Kumlehn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was asking! Well, Ian Bicking flattered me by mentioning XMLForms for Webware as a comparable project, and I suppose it is in various respects. Take a look at...
http://www.paul.boddie.net/Python/XMLForms/index.html Download it from... http://www.paul.boddie.net (see the "XMLForms for Webware" section) The motivation for this project is to tie together inputs to a Web application with outputs to the user's browser in a way that supports more formal verification that everything will work before you deploy your application (and would otherwise find that it doesn't work because your HTML form is missing elements, has too many elements, or has elements of the wrong size, or your application hasn't been updated to support your latest changes to the data model, and so on). Another thing that I have concentrated on is to provide support in applications for the editing of hierarchical data, and to provide interfaces that applications can use to accept, manipulate and represent such data without having to write lots of application-specific code. Moreover, I have been adding generic validation/verification support recently, so that one can incorporate specific Python functions to validate data if the built-in min/max/required attributes aren't enough. There are other interesting pieces of infrastructure: I have had a go at writing a class which represents decimal numbers exactly, rather than having developers attempt to rely on floating point representations which could result in undesirable surprises in certain kinds of applications. This is fairly experimental, but could be of benefit in many other areas. All these later improvements will go into 0.1.5, but to get a good enough idea of what XMLForms is about, read the documentation and see if it's your thing or not. I won't be offended if it isn't. ;-) Regards, Paul -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
