Of course, the decoupling would require an entire re-write of how validation/forms/filters are written...
See you explain this system that each part relies on another part working a certain way... when I analyze this through my programming filter to solve this problem this is what I see... A class for filtering (parsing html values into python values) A class for validation (validating already parsed data), this could be used anywhere within web2py, even import_from_csv_file! A class for data structure (just the data of a form, like a rows object, and the types of data) A class for representation (this will take a data structure, and parse it into a representable format... like a form, or a table) Each of these classes could use the others, but they don't rely on the others.... you could use the filtering without validating the data... or create a form that can validate, but doesn't represent itself. -Thadeus On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 7:18 PM, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > way, I do think the current system can be improved and made more > general.
