[Zope3-dev] Add flexibility to zope.formlib.form.EditFormBase

[Michael Howitz]

Hi,

I'm using zope.formlib.form.EditFormBase and want to normalize data  
before saving it.
Saving is done by the applyChanges function which is called from  
handle_edit_action.
The problem is that handle_edit_action is an action, so I can't  
easily subclass and do a super call to handle_edit_action.
If I add my own handle_edit_action I have to copy-paste the code from  
formlib because applyChanges is a function, not a method on the class.

My solution would be to add an applyChanges method to  
zope.formlib.form.EditFormBase which calls the applyChanges function.
Any objections?

Yours sincerely,
Michael Howitz
