I need this for some complicated turbogears controller classes for a
generic framework.

The point is that I have a formwidget which has to know which controller
it belongs to. (Because the controller knows the path, the
sqlobjectclass etc.). The widget has to be created at class creation
time of the controller, because there is a metaclass which ensures
validation of the formwidget. (Necessary because the controller is
inherited)

Basically and stripped down this looks like this:

class ControllerMeta(type):
    def __new__(meta, class_name, bases, new_attrs):
        new_attrs["save"] = validate(new_attrs['widget_edit'])
(bases[0].save)
        return type.__new__(meta, class_name, bases, new_attrs)


class MotourForm(TableForm):
    template = "motour.templates.motourform"
    params = ["delete_attrs","cancel_attrs"]

    member_widgets = ["delete","cancel"]
    cancel = ResetButton(name="cancel")
    delete_attrs = {}

    def __init__(self, controller, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MotourForm, self).__init__(action = "%s/save" %
controller.get_path, *args, **kwargs)
        self.controller = controller
        self.delete = LinkButtonAsk(name="delete", caption =
_(u"Löschen"), question = _(u"Wirklich loeschen"),
        link = "%s/delete" % controller.get_path())

        self.cancel_attrs = dict(onClick="self.location.href='%s/back';"
                                 % controller.get_path())

class TourEdit(MotourForm):
    template = "motour.templates.touredit"
    params = ["tourposvalue"]

    member_widgets = ["tourpos"]
    tourpos = DataGridAED()

class Tour(MotourController):
  __metaclass__ = ControllerMeta
  sqlobjectclass = model.Tour

  #Here is the problem
  widget_edit = TourEdit(controller=Tour, name = "tourheader",
                         fields = [Label(name="id", label=_("Tour-ID")),
                                   TextField(name="name")])



I hope it's not to confusing.
Thank's for your help.
