return MyForm()

obj = MyModel.objects.get(pk=pk)

Kudos to Adrian for putting together the newforms
package. There have been some questions about whether
it's ready for prime-time, but I think if you're just
starting with Django and have some Python coding experience
it probably makes just to jump in and use it. The code
is easy to comprehend. If you find something that doesn't
quite work the way you expect, it's not too difficult to
work around.
Full disclosure: I'm new to Django and have never worked
with the old forms package.
