I don't think it needs major development. I don't understand why it was not integrated into webware, because it was designed for it.
I found some minor details that could be corrected: for example, fields are stored in the form with a list. When you want to access a field by its name, formkit iterates the list to find the field. That's not really the best performance wise implementation. What I don't like in formencode, is that forms are entered in html (which I don't like, because I personaly prefer python object hierarchy description) I don't think it is also very performant in terms of cpu power... The validator features of formencode and formkit seem similar. What could be improved, (that's what I did), is the layout description, which is actually a simple vertical table. I simply did a nested horizontal or vertical tables description which fitted my needs. > I also like to add something like FunFormKit's SimpleHTMLGen.py to > Webware, maybe as module in the WebUtils package.

For tables, I wrote my own little script where you describe tables with nested lists. It's very simple, and because of that, it won't fit everybody's needs, but it save lot of python lines of code. If we talk about the features of webware, I did not find how to manage directories url notation. for example, what I would like to have is: if Main is the page handler, it should be possible to enter any url like: http://webkit/Main/foo/boo?a=1&b=2 Main request fields would be: { 'a':'1','b':'2','_path':'foo/boo'} http://webkit/Main/foo would give : {'_path':'foo'} What do you think of that? simple isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
