I know that kotti & substance-d use deform extensively.
I really like the demo site for deform2.0a2 <http://deform2demo.repoze.org/>

But deform2 did not change much from alpha since 18 months.
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/deform> Maybe I missed something.
I do not want add libraries to my application that lost developer
support/attention.
I do not want to spend much (or even any) time to make deform2.X work with
a more recent Twitter Bootstrap (>=3.2).
I found leaner forms libraries like formvalidation.io that appeal to me as well, but I would prefer testing my models/schema/validation in python.
I really like the schema-driven approach of deform and similar
pyramid/python libraries.

What is the current state of deform with respect to developer acceptance
and future developer support?
Would you still recommend adding deform/colander to a more recent pyramid
application?
The quick tutorial for adding forms
<http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/master/quick_tutorial/forms.html#forms-and-validation-with-deform>
is still telling this story?

What is your opinion?

Kotti always uses the latest versions of all upstream packages, for that matter: Bootstrap 3.3.4, deform 2.0a2 and colander 1.0. This combination performs flawlessly out of the box for all the widgets Kotti uses. We only have a customized RichTextWidget to allow file / image browsing and uploading.

As Kotti indeed heavily relies upon deform and Bootstrap and is actively maintained, we will most probably make pull requests for deform if/when something changes in upcoming versions of Bootstrap that would require respective changes in deform.

So the bottom line is: deform and colander are actively used and so stable that no changes were required recently.


HTH,

Andreas
