Invalid

This is raised in response to invalid input. It has several public attributes:

The Invalid class is accessible via the formencode.api module.

msg:
The message, without values substituted. For instance, if you want HTML quoting of values, you can apply that.
substituteArgs:
The arguments (a dictionary) to go with msg .
str(self):
The message describing the error, with values substituted.
value:
The offending (invalid) value.
state:
The state that went with this validator. This is an application-specific object.
error_list:
If this was a compound validator that takes a repeating value, and sub-validator(s) had errors, then this is a list of those exceptions. The list will be the same length as the number of values -- valid values will have None instead of an exception.
error_dict:
Like error_list , but for dictionary compound validators.

Methods

f __getitem__(...) ...

f __init__(self, msg, value, state, error_list=None, error_dict=None) ...

f unpack_errors(self, encode_variables=False, dict_char='.', list_char='-') ...

Returns the error as a simple data structure -- lists, dictionaries, and strings.

If encode_variables is true, then this will return a flat dictionary, encoded with variable_encode
