[Zope] Numeric Check

[Zope]

I think extending the input-tag name with :float, :int, or :long and 
test with type() from python would do the trick. 
I havn't tested it but theoreticly it should work.

For more info on form field definitions check out Zen's
How-To: Form Variable Types and Typechecking.

(I have used :tuple to submit a sequences of strings in a get request, e.g. url? varname:tuple=first_string&varname:tuple=second_string...)
