Trunk AttributeError when validating SQLFORM.factory

[Alan Etkin]

When I submit a form created with .factory(), on validation web2py throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alan/web2py/web2py-hg/gluon/restricted.py", line 205, in restricted

    try:
AttributeError: 'SQLFORM' object has no attribute try:
'readonly'


I think that cause of the error is that the code that initializes the form doesn't set the object's readonly attribute.

I solved the problem by using a try-except block here.
# gluon/sqlhtml.py line 1040
try:
    if self.readonly: return False
except AttributeError, e:
    self.readonly = False



Anyway, this is not a proper patch. The correct one should set the readonly attribute on form instantiation.
My web2py version is Version 1.99.7 (2012-04-01 23:37:42) dev
