| Handling Huge Forms? |

Hi,
I use Cherrypy 2.1 and find it really helpful for most of my
work.
I've got a small doubt. In case, say a form has some 30 form
fields
(yes I am destined to work with such huge forms) then should
I pass all
the 30 fields as arguments to the form action function or is
there any
other way of calling a form action that does not need me to
call all
the fields (it is a pain typing in so many arguments to
the
function) but can get the work done.
Thanking in advance
Thejaswi

expected_fields = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam', 'eggs', 'herring']
class Something:
cherrypy.expose
; def hugeformhandler(self, **kwargs):
for each name in expected_fields:
; handlehuge(name,
kwargs.get(name, None))
def handlehuge(fieldname, value):
# do whatever you want here...
pass
See http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html#SECTION006720000000000000000
for more info on the use of ** for arbitrary function keyword arguments.

Couldn't you just use **kw to capture the keyword arguments
as a
dictionary, and access them that way?
