Alberto,

Glad to hear you have an update for ToscaWidgets. I had a Google App Engine related question and suggestion. I talked to Guido at the Google I/O conference and he mentioned that the only thing missing with the default webapp framework included with GAE is form validation. In those cases people could obviously use Django newforms, but I wonder if ToscaWidgets might be a great fit for people who want to use the default set up components included with GAE, and use a library for forms. I think there is a great opportunity for someone to tackle form validation OUTSIDE of a web framework on GAE.

Hi Noah,

tw.forms uses FormEncode for validation. That would be a better fit IMHO it tackles form validation specifically, TW does more things which might not be needed.

Anyway, I'm planning to get TW + tw.forms usable in GAE before 1.0. That should be much easier now since TW no longer has any C based dependencies. If Mako or Genshi and FE can be used on GAE there TW probably can be used too or the fix should be trivial.

Cheers, Alberto
