[Zope3-checkins] CVS: Zope3/src/zope/app/interfaces/browser - form.py:1.1.2.3

[R. David Murray]

Update of /cvs-repository/Zope3/src/zope/app/interfaces/browser
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv24815

Modified Files:
      Tag: NameGeddon-branch
	form.py 
Log Message:
Can't have both a form.py and a form subdirectory and still manage to
import from both, so incorporate what was in the form subdir
(formcollaboration) into form.py.  Looks like it was probably a
mistake in the spec.txt file.
