webhelpers: howto send an attribute that is not a valid python identifier

[Matt Feifarek]

Hi there.

I want to make a tag like this:

<form action="go" accept-charset="utf-8" class="goform">

Of course, "accept-charset" is an expression in Python, not a valid identifier. I'm aware that for reserved words, we append an underscore (class -> class_) but is there a proper way to send "accept-charset"?

I ended up with this, but it seems not the nicest way:

tags.form("go", class_="goform", **{'accept-charset':"utf-8"})

Thanks!

That seems like it might bite you one day in the future. :-)

Yeah, seems like that type of auto-replacement doesn't usually turn
out to be the best way forward.
I'm not using webhelpers, though, so I guess that's only a -0.02 from
me on that.
