This is especially the case with Django...writing a simple
min/max validator is trivial to do and Django makes it easy to
use any set of validators you want on your fields.  That said, I
don't see a great reason not to include a min_length and
max_length validator in Django's standard toolkit of validators
as I've seen this question pop up a couple other times on the
list and have written them myself in the past.

but pythonistas can at least sort them into namespaces ;)
