Detailed Description

This class provides a way to store UI input elements by name so that they can be retrieved later on.

Basically, this is a dictionary, but elements can be added or accessed using the dot notation direclty. This is simply for convenience - so we don't have to pass a bunch of UI inputs around between methods in UI code for doing things like validation/retrieving user input. For example:

def create_form():
  form = Form()
  form.my_entrybox = gtk.EntryBox(...)
  form.my_spinner = gtk.SpinButton(...)
  return form

def process_form(form):
  text_input = form.my_entrybox.get_text()
  int_input = form.my_spinner.get_int_value()
  ...
