Above in this comment thread: Formulator HOWTO »

Comment

It doesn't seem to work in a python product

I found that somehow this howto is either outdated or only works for dtml.

If you scan the request after submiting a form in a python method, then you will find that Formulator stores: field_animal and not animal as the HowTo says.

This should be clarified

Ok, now I got it. I guess when working with this in dtml, if there are no errors, then the field values will be stored again in the request. So, when you say , you are adquiring it from the request. In python you have to assign the result of the validation to a variable like this:

fieldValues = form.validate_all_to_request(REQUEST)

Then if there is no error, fieldValues will contain a dictionary with the fields' real names and its values.
