I am looking to write a validator that takes as its arguments a
request.post_vars.pass1 and request.post_vars.pass2. This is to check
if when the use enters a password in 2 fields that they are the same.

It then checks if they match, and if they don't it flashes an error
saying passwords do not match.

In addition, two questions:
1. Where should I store this custom validator?
2. How do I import this custom validator to use in my controller?

Here is the code I have so far:

from storage import Storage
from gluon.utils import md5_hash

class IS_PASS_MATCH(object):
    """
        example:
        INPUT(_type='text',_name='pass1',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
        INPUT(_type='text',_name='pass2',requires=IS_PASS_MATCH
(request.post_vars.pass1, request.post_vars.pass2))
    """

    def __init__(self, passwd1, passwd2, error_message='Passwords do
not match!'):
        self.error_message = error_message
        self.pass1 = passwd1
        self.pass2 = passwd2

    def __call__(self, value):
        try:
            if(self.pass1 == self.pass2):
                return(value, None)
            else:
                return (value, self.error_message)
        except:
            return (value, self.error_message)
