Re: define form in yaml file

Hi Leonardo,

I was talking about something I want to implement (or looking for a 3rd party implementation), not a standard Django feature.

Users would define forms in format they input, which in turn will be used to generate forms displayed in browser for other users.
If I allow users to input Python code they might input anything they like, for instance they might add in their Python code subprocess.Popen("rm -rf /*") :D.

This is an obvious security no-no, regardless of language or framework.

Hi,

I'm new to Django and here.

yaml file is commonly used in Rails framework.
Django uses simple python file (settings.py).

What security risk? Have you got any example ?

Hello,

I need a way to define a django form through a yaml file (or another text format).
Is there some code that already does this?
I'm trying to not reinvent the wheel.

I can't use simple python classes, since this would user input and would be a security risk and I need a simpler and limited format.

Thanks
