class INorobotsForm(interface.Interface):
    norobots = schema.TextLine(title=_(u'Are you a human ?'),
                               description=_(u'In order to avoid spam, please answer the question below.'),
                               required=True)

class NorobotsForm(form.Form):
    fields = field.Fields(INorobotsForm)
    fields['norobots'].widgetFactory = NorobotsFieldWidget

# wrap the form with plone.app.z3cform's Form wrapper
NorobotsFormView = wrap_form(NorobotsForm)

validator.WidgetValidatorDiscriminators(NorobotsValidator, field=INorobotsForm['norobots'])
