In fact I am facing exactly same demand as you. My approach is the
readable=writable=False we mentioned earlier. Although it looks
somewhat verbose and boring, but I think it is logically perfect.
Besides, in this way, you usually don't need a customized view at all.
That is also clean IMHO.
And if you really want a cleaner way, here is what I did. I define a
helper function as below.
def adjust(#Just a helper
table,**kwargs):
for f in table.fields:
table[f].readable=table[f].writable=False # reset
for f in kwargs.get('readable',table.fields):
table[f].readable=True
for f in kwargs.get('writable',table.fields):
table[f].writable=True
