What about this?
import re
if not form.get('date'):
print "Tsk! No date entered."
raise Exception
if re.search('[a-zA-Z]', form.get('date')):
print "Tsk! No fancy date words."
raise Exception
date = form.get('date')
if not form.get('purchases'):
print "Tsk! Are you buying or not?"
raise Exception
if re.search('[0-9]', form.get('purchases')):
print "Tsk! For some reason, you can't buy anything with numbers in it."
raise Exception
purchases = form.get('purchases')
