        InputGetter

An accessor that represents all the input fields in a form.

You can get fields by name from this, with form.inputs['field_name']. If there are a set of checkboxes with the same name, they are returned as a list (a CheckboxGroup which also allows value setting). Radio inputs are handled similarly.

You can also iterate over this to get all input elements. This won't return the same thing as if you get all the names, as checkboxes and radio elements are returned individually.
