Hi Sean,
Nothing like a proposal that includes a patch :)
I do agree that the monolithic, growing expose is not ideal, and I do
want to make it possible (and easy!) to use other decorators, because
they can be quite useful.
Just to confirm my hunch (without actually looking at your patch :):
@turbogears.expose(html="my.template")
def save(self, name, address):
...do something...
return dict(foo="bar")
This will still work just as before.
So the main bit that your patch does is break out any input related
behavior and expose parameters into a new decorator. It's not really
any more verbose, it's just moving them to a new home. Seems like a
good idea on the surface.
