Thanks -- it took a long time for me to figure that out and I hope I saved somebody else some time.

from the code that really does something. However, it is really a
little too fancy for my tastes.I think a big list of examples would go a long way to make it FE more popular.I hope I'll find the time soon, to publish them somewhere

Yeah, FE is a fantastic idea, but like many great ideas, the first
stab may not be the best possible implementation.

I think a big list of examples would go a long way to make it FE more popular.

FormEncode is really cool and underrated, IMHO. The documentation is really basic and not organized very well, though, so you need to read the source and experiment at lot, to understand how all the combinations of different validators, compound validators and validation schemas work and which tricks there are to write your own validators. Also, the set of standard validators provided with the FE distribution is lacking in many respects (min/max for Integers anyone?) or plain buggy (DateTimeConverter).

I have a sizable collection of re-usable, custom validators for my TurboGears apps now, and I hope I'll find the time soon, to publish them somewhere.

Yeah, it is really nice to keep all the type-conversion code separate
from the code that really does something. However, it is really a
little too fancy for my tastes. At some point, I want to study
validino more, because it is just a lot simpler to read.

FormEncode is some good stuff. Definitely worth diving into.
