I think he was suggesting in the form, not each field: form = forms.Form(punct='') would let you create a form with no colons. You could also do something like form = forms.Form(punct='-->') or whatever. This would also allow you to override the punctuation based on locale. Seems like a not bad solution. People who hate the colons could create their own subclass of Form and use it instead of the default form and then they wouldn't have to set the punct value each time.
