EuroDjangoCon 2009

EuroDjangoCon 2009 is still going strong, but I wanted to share the materials from my talk as quickly as possible. My slides are on Slide Share:

Forms, Getting Your Money's Worth

View more presentations from kingkilr.

And the first examples code follows:

from django.forms.util import ErrorList
from django.utils.datastructures import SortedDict

def multiple_form_factory(form_classes, form_order=None):
   if form_order:
       form_classes = SortedDict([(prefix, form_classes[prefix]) for prefix in
           form_order])
   else:
       form_classes = SortedDict(form_classes)
   return type('MultipleForm', (MultipleFormBase,), {'form_classes': form_classes})

class MultipleFormBase(object):
   def __init__(self, data=None, files=None, auto_id='id_%s', prefix=None,
       initial=None, error_class=ErrorList, label_suffix=':',
       empty_permitted=False):
       if prefix is None:
           prefix = ''
       self.forms = [form_class(data, files, auto_id, prefix + form_prefix,
           initial[i], error_class, label_suffix, empty_permitted) for
           i, (form_prefix, form_class) in enumerate(self.form_classes.iteritems())]

   def __unicode__(self):
       return self.as_table()

   def __iter__(self):
       for form in self.forms:
           for field in form:
               yield field

   def is_valid(self):
       return all(form.is_valid() for form in self.forms)

   def as_table(self):
       return '\n'.join(form.as_table() for form in self.forms)

   def as_ul(self):
       return '\n'.join(form.as_ul() for form in self.forms)

   def as_p(self):
       return '\n'.join(form.as_p() for form in self.forms)

   def is_multipart(self):
       return any(form.is_multipart() for form in self.forms)

   def save(self, commit=True):
       return tuple(form.save(commit) for form in self.forms)
   save.alters_data = True

EuroDjangoCon has been a blast thus far and after the conference I'll do a blogpost that does it justice.
