IMHO yes. It will save you a lot of hassles like this and will allow you to
add methods to clean and validate the data when you find that you need it.
The Form class was built to help you at this kind of thing.
To fix this chunk of code, get rid of the try: except statement. There is an
error occurring in you code after the try statement, and you have a catch
all there, so you are bound not to se it happen. That doesn't really help in
debugging,
Hope that helps,
Michael
