@mdp: thanks for the clarification. I like having 1 way of doing things, which is why I dumped perl years ago. Perhaps IS_NULL_OR should be officially deprecated?

Function signatures, list of validators, what not.

True but there is always epydoc http://web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/ http://web2py.com/examples/static/epydoc/web2py.gluon.validators-module.html On May 13, 3:22 pm, Jonathan Lundell jlund...@pobox.com wrote: On May 13, 2010, at 1:01 PM, weheh wrote: @mdp: thanks for the clarification.

And the summaries leave a lot to be desired. Here's a current example: IS_EMPTY_OR dummy class for testing IS_EMPTY_OR IS_NULL_OR dummy class for testing IS_EMPTY_OR Now that's helpful. My point with the book is that the information is already there, but scattered and hard to find.

Then epydoc is very useful... useful to find problems with the docstrings!

Jonathan: Is this something new? Isn't this the way to do it? IS_NULL_OR(IS_URL())
[web2py] Re: Problem with IS_URL
OK, I'm seeing IS_EMPTY_OR in the online doc. Sorry, I've been away from my desk for a few weeks. Is IS_NULL_OR deprecated? (Or does it depend on what the meaning of IS is? ;^) On May 13, 12:00 am, weheh richard_gor...@verizon.net wrote: Jonathan: Is this something new? Isn't this the way to do it? IS_NULL_OR(IS_URL())

They and synonymous but IS_EMPTY_OR is the newer syntax, more coherent. On May 12, 11:05 pm, weheh richard_gor...@verizon.net wrote: OK, I'm seeing IS_EMPTY_OR in the online doc.
