colander

Let's say I receive an arbitrary datetime object in a request, like this, which could be coming from any possible timezone - I don't know which one. For the sake of example, pretend it comes from the East Coast import pytz from colander import iso8601 ... ests1 = iso8601.parse_date('2016-04-01T00:00:00.0000-04:00') pretend ests1 is the object that comes in Using pytz, I can find out a bit about it's timezone etz = ests1.timetz() # 00:00:00-04:00 etzi = ests1.tzinfo # <FixedOffset '-04:00' datetime.timedelta(-1, 72000)> etzn = ests1.tzname() # '-04:00' # EST edst = ests1.dst() # '0:00:00' Note

I'm trying to do a series of dependent inputs with Deform / Colander / Chameleon / Pyramid and can't find any examples. e.g. Dropdown of Country yields-> Dropdown of State or Province or Division ..etc.. yields-> Dropdown of County or City ... might yield-> Dropdown of City ... Can this be accomplished using Deform? (if it can't, should I look at an alternative form generating solution or go pure html/javascript/ajax/..?) I'm simplifying this to geographic divisions. I'd prefer to send only the necessary part of the 12 million record database at the time the form is loaded and incrementally

I have just started using Pyramid for one of my projects and I have a case where in I need to validate a form field input, by taking that form field value and making a web-service call to assert the value's correctness. Like for example there is a field called your bank's CUSTOMER-ID. I need to take that(alone) as input and validate at the server level by making a web-service call (like http://someotherdomain/validate_customer_id/?customer_id=<input_value> )lets say. I am using Colander for form schema management and Deform for all form validation logic. I am confused about where I need to
