I don't (really) mind infinity being accepted; it's just weird that the validator ends up raising an exception no part of the stack is expecting. It pretty much makes using the validate decorator impossible without wrapping it up with my own thing. Or maybe you're saying infinity works correctly (no exception raised) in the new version of formencode? I'm still on 0.7.1. - Aston On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 9:55 PM, Ian Bicking <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, probably it would be reasonable behavior for 'inf' to be invalid, > except if some settings was on the Number validator to allow it (like > Number(allow_infinity=True)).
