I'm not keen on this idea. Validation checking isn't hard to do with testbrowser as-is, and doing it on every page load is overkill. Add to that the global nature of the required switch and this really doesn't seem like the right approach. I suggest you create a package that subclasses testbrowser to provide the behavior you want. Perhaps if it is widely adopted and the approach proves itself, it can be rolled in. > Does this belong in zope.testbrowser or in the underlying mechanize > package? It appears to me to belong higher in the stack, not lower. I do like the local validator approach. How will you manage that dependency? -- Benji York _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
