What are the advantages, if any, to using mako's or pylon's form handlers instead of coding the form manually?

Question

Trying to decide if I should be using mako to handle the forms in my application or not. Thanks for the input.

Answer 1

It'll save you a lot of time (even if you use them just during development) to use Pylons built-in form handling. Later if you want to strip them out and hard code a full form for each page, you can but I'd use the built-in one and find ways to customize within it before going completely manual about it.
