There's an open ticket currently regarding custom error messages in
newforms: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3457

I currently have an ugly hack in place that gives me an error_message=
parameter for the field types I use, but, it's ugly, and doesn't work
entirely. I'm working on getting a real patch done for this, but have
some questions/roadblocks.

How do we want to handle field types that have multiple error
messages? For instance, IntegerField has a "max" message, "min"
message, and "required" error message. I don't really like the idea of
three named parameters max_error_message, min_error_message,
error_message, but I can't seem to come up with any easier solutions.

One of the comments on the thread brings up a point that
error_message= could be a single error message and we put it on the
coders to write their error messages as, "You must enter a number
between 3 and 10." instead of splitting it into "Please enter a
number", "Please enter a number greater than or equal to 3", and
"Please enter a number no more than 10".

Thoughts?
