Hi,
zope.schema defines how a schema can be validated, defines errors
and provides a way to validate single fields.
I think we should add a function to validate a given schema on a
given class. This should include constraints and invariants:
validateSchema(IMySchema, myobject) [or alike]
I'm not sure about return values or exceptions. There are different
use cases:
1. Is the object valid? -> True/False
2. What's wrong with the object -> {attribute/field-name: what's
wrong}, what's wrong with invariants.
Comments?
I remember discussing this a year or more ago. I don't remember where.
I'd like to see this fit into the zope.interface.verify "framework".
I'd like to see the verify module refactored to be pluggable and I'd
like to see schema versification plug into this. This would *also*
motivate (or at least enable) people to do better method verification
and possibly provide other kinds of verification.
