[twill] Form field values?

[Brett Carter]

I added a simple method, 'getvalue' to commands.py that gets the current
value of a field and sets it in a named local variable.  Interested in a
patch?


def getvalue(formname, fieldname, localval):
    """
    >> getvalue <formname> <field> <local_var>

    gets a value of a given field on a form and sets it in a
    local variable
    """
