Description: Deform
        ======
        
        A Python HTML form library.  It runs under Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
        
        Please see http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/deform/en/latest/ for the
        documentation.
        
        See https://github.com/Pylons/deform for in-development version.
        
        
        2.0a2 (2013-10-18)
        ------------------
        
        - ``PasswordWidget`` and ``CheckedPasswordWidget`` have grown an additional
          argument/attribute named ``redisplay``, which controls what happens on a
          validation failure of a form involving such a field.  If ``redisplay`` is
          ``True`` (the default), the password will be re-rendered into the form when
          the form is re-rendered after validation failure.  If ``redisplay`` is
          ``False``, the password will not be re-rendered into the form.  The default
          is ``False``, which means that, as of this release, passwords will not
          be redisplayed; this changes the default behavior wrt previous releases.
          Values typed into password fields are not redisplayed by default during
          validation failure, as a security measure (the value winds up in browser
          history).  Use ``PasswordWidget(redisplay=True)`` or
          ``CheckedPasswordWidget(redisplay=True)`` to make these widgets redisplay
          passwords on validation failures, matching the old behavior.
        
        - When using the default Chameleon template renderer, template names can now 
          be "asset specifications" e.g. ``mypackage:subdir1/subdir2/mytemplate.pt``
          instead of extensionless paths relative to a search path.  When
          template names are specified as asset specifications, the 
          ``pkg_resources.resource_filename`` API is used to dereference them
          into an actual file path.
        
        2.0a1 (2013-10-05)
        ------------------
        
        This is an alpha release of Deform v2.  Deform v2 is backwards incompatible
        with Deform v1.  It requires the use of Twitter Bootstrap v3, whereas 
        deform v1 did not require Bootstrap.
        
        A demonstration site that shows Deform 2 in action exists at 
        http://deform2demo.repoze.org.
        
        Both Deform 1 and Deform 2 will be maintained going forward.  If you wish
        to continue using Deform 1, because you cannot upgrade, or cannot depend on
        Bootstrap 3, please pin your deform distribution requirement to
        something below 2.0a1, e.g. ``deform<=1.999``.
        
        This first alpha release is missing formal documentation updates.  Apologies, 
        we needed to get a release out onto PyPI, as not having one is holding back
        the development of a number of platforms and applications that depend on the 
        changes in v2+.  Documentation updates will be forthcoming over the lifetime 
        of future alpha/beta releases.  However, below is a list of known issues that 
        need to be addressed to make a final release of Deform 2, as well as 
        information about new features, and migration notes.  You may also be
        able to make use of the demo site at http://deform2demo.repoze.org to divine
        how things have changed, and what CSS and JavaScript resources you'll need
        to include in your pages to make use of this release.
        
        TODO
        
        - docs
        - decide how to explain form.css (include in requirements or?)
        - horizontal/inline forms + structural things
        - assets for templates: deform should provide a tool to resolve that?
        - placeholder support for all textual inputs (and required/maxlength
          see also https://github.com/Pylons/deform/pull/116)
        - display help-blocks for readonly fields?
        - maybe readonly should be a property of the schema, not the widget.
        - consider whether "style"/"css_class" on multi-input widgets should apply to
          a container or each element.
        - audit use of e.g. string:${css_class} so we don't see unexpected class="None"
          in widget rendering output.
        - some sort of test for mapping_item input_prepend/input_append
        - Currently description shows up as both tooltip of label and as help-block.
          Maybe make these two things separate or at least don't show them both using
          the same value.
        - normalize CSS class names to deform-foo rather than deformFoo
        - sequence_of_sequences: js that processes close/order buttons has to 
          be less promiscuous (it uses e.g. "find"); symptom: buttons
          appear/disappear, act on the wrong element, etc... ugh 2013/10/05
          cannot replicate, but still believe there may be an issue, but
          maybe iElectric fixed it
        
        NICE TO HAVE
        
        - structural widget (mapping_item.pt) - do we need that or not or what? + 
          add a demo
        - prepend/append t.bootstrap stuff
        - https://github.com/Pylons/deform/pull/116#issuecomment-23210460
        - group demos by widget type
        - handle ajax demo more UX friendly
        - Put drag handles in panel headers: https://github.com/Pylons/deform/issues/180
        
        NEW FEATURES:
        
        - input_prepend/input_append in mapping_item widget.
        - field.parent
        - field.get_root
        - inline attr of checkboxchoice and radiochoice widgets (see
          https://github.com/Pylons/deform/pull/182)
        - http://deform2demo.repoze.org/
        
        MIGRATION NOTES: 
        
        - removed deprecated `height, width, skin, theme` parameters from RichTextWidget
          (use "options" instead)
        - removed deprecated `render_initial_item` from SequenceWidget
        - removed deprecated deform.Set (use colander.Set instead)
        - DateInputWidget renamed parameter `dateFormat` to `format` (dateFormat
          now unsupported).
        - DateTimeInputWidget now renders as two fields: one for a date and one
          for a time, using pickadate.
        - We no longer bother trying to use the native datetimeinput widget on any
          browser, because the support is so spotty.
        - DateTimeInputWidget takes two options now: date_options and time_options
          instead of a single options dictionary.  The options are pickadate
          date/time options respectively.
        - It is no longer possible to do DateTimeWidget().options['a'] = 'foo'
          or DateTimeWidget().date_options['a'] = 'foo'.  If you need to change
          options imperatively, set the entire .options/.date_options dictionary.
        - merged TypeaheadInputWidget to AutocompleteInputWidget (removed delay 
          parameter)
        - AutocompleteInputWidget now accepts string type for "values"
        - widgets no longer accepts "size" (instead use style="width: x"), except
          SelectWidget (it means the size of the dropdown)
        - get_widget_resources now returns asset specifications rather than
          deform-static-relative paths
        - deform 2.0 requires users to manually load TB 3.0 and jquery 2.0
        - required labels no longer insert an asterisk inside a <span class="req">
          inside themselves.  instead the label element has a required class
          if the field is required; use form.css to display this as an asterisk.
        - min_length of AutocompleteInputWidget now defaults to 1 (was 2)
