forms.py not in views directory?

[pauleveritt]

Just a minor nit...curious why it is up there, instead of a helper in views? It is only consumed by code in views.

How would you suggest moving the code, I like to keep the forms code separate from views themselves - but I'm open for suggestions.

[pauleveritt]

Do you anticipate using the forms code from any consumer outside of the views directory? If so, leave it. If not, just as a suggestion, have views/form_helpers.py or just views/forms.py

I usually prefer a domain approach and also separate schemas and forms, but not in the case of wtforms. So I end up with something like:

• blog
• - init.py (having the includeme)
• - events.py
• - interfaces.py
• - models.py
• - schemas.py
• - services.py
• - subscribers.py
• - views.py

@pauleveritt I think i had some case of using form parsing outside of views - it was used in celery tasks to verify some data after parsing.

Ok, let's close this then.
