Deform¶
deform
is a Python HTML form generation library. It runs under Python
2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
The design of deform
is heavily influenced by the formish form generation library. Some
might even say it’s a shameless rip-off; this would not be completely
inaccurate. It differs from formish mostly in ways that make the
implementation (arguably) simpler and smaller.
deform
uses Colander as a schema library,
Peppercorn as a form control deserialization library, and
Chameleon to perform HTML templating.
deform
depends only on Peppercorn, Colander, Chameleon and an
internationalization library named translationstring, so it may be
used in most web frameworks (or antiframeworks) as a result.
Alternate templating languages may be used, as long as all templates
are translated from the native Chameleon templates to your templating
system of choice and a suitable renderer is supplied to
deform
.
Warning
Despite the version number at the top, this documentation has not been updated for the 2.X release line of Deform. Most of the documentation will still apply, but where it does not, see the Deform Change History for an overview of changes between 0.9.9 and this release. Also, please see http://deform2demo.repoze.org .
