This is not just about "forms", it's about using the entire application
without having to use the mouse, ever.

Use a decent database RAD desktop (non-web) GUI application framework
which uses client-side application logics. "Validation" of input will
then be essentially instantaneous. Unless you run the client on that
pathological non-operating system MS (Not Responding), obviously. I've
posted a corresponding list of frameworks available for Python multiple
times already on this group:

using PyQt (& Sqlalchemy): 
Qtalchemy: www.qtalchemy.org 
Camelot: www.python-camelot.com 
Pypapi: www.pypapi.org 

using PyGTK: 
Sqlkit: sqlkit.argolinux.org (also uses Sqlalchemy) 
Kiwi: www.async.com.br/projects/kiwi 

using wxPython: 
Gui2Py: code.google.com/p/gui2py/
Dabo: www.dabodev.com 
Defis: sourceforge.net/projects/defis (Russian only) 
GNUe: www.gnuenterprise.org 

Server-roundtrips required for simple user interaction are an absolute
non-starter for productivity applications. No matter whether in a LAN
or WAN. If you want a responsive application you have to de-centralise
as much as possible. Perfect solution would be if Bettina Kemme's
Postgres-R was available for production use, then even the persistence
could run locally on the client with asynchronous replication of
all clients ("peer to peer").

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
