accpets takes two arguments
onvalidation=lambda form: None
onaccept=lambda form: None
onvalidation is run after validation before insert/update/delete
onaccept is done after insert/update/delete before redirection
It it technically possible to make onaccept point to a function that
does some checks and then eventuall calls db.rollback(). I
definitively advice against that. I think you constraints must be
checked before insert/update/delete. That is what onvalidation is for.
You validation takes the form and if you want to block the subsequent
insert/update/delete simply add an error to form.errors explaining the
problem. Example:
def algorithm(form):
if form.vars.a!=form.vars.b:
form.errors.b='should be the same as a"
form.accepts(request.vars,onvalidation=lambda form: algorithm(form))
