[Grok-dev] Re: Heads up: Renamed AddForm to Form

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

Philipp and I just had a long discussion on IRC to try to work this out.

We've concluded we'll proceed with his inheritance-based approach (as 
opposed to the composition-based design). Philipp will amend the code so 
it's very clear that we're only doing implementation inheritance from 
formlib's base class, not interface inheritance.

We break interface inheritance as Grok does its own thing with update() 
and render() altogether, so we shadow those with Grok and rename the 
ones in formlib to form_render() and form_update().

Philipp will also add some tests to make sure that update() works, that 
render() is either forbidden in subclasses or allowed without breaking 
things, and that redirecting behaves the same way as for views.

Overall goal is to allow formlib-style customization for grok.Form and 
friends, while retaining the assumptions people have when they subclass 
grok.View.

Regards,

Martijn
