I'm pretty new to Python and am currently exploring Flask. I wanted to subclass one the Field classes to create a percentage field but when I add it to a form, it crashes my interpreter. Here's the code:
I am probably making an obvious mistake somewhere but I have no clue what exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Stef
Some additional info:
The crash only happens when I add
I get the following error message in the terminal window:

Oversight. So, the bug happens when I add {{ parameter_form.growth_rate }}
So the object is created but things go awry when it is rendered in the browser.
Narrowed it doen further. Apparently the error occurs as soon as I add the process_data() function to the class. Tried just returning the value, returning self and not returning anything (just writing a line of mock code).
Everything leads to a fatal crash but not right away. When I just print the value to the output window I see a couple of values (listed below) before I get a crash. So it has something to do with the WTF package it seems.
The values:
0.0
1.9
4.0
1.0
2.5
0.5
20.0
100.0
0.0
20.0
