Jeff,
Looks like you are rendering out the form class itself rather than an
instance of the form.
You could try this approach.
from django import newforms as forms
from django.template import Context, Template
from django.http import HttpResponse
class MedForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MedForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.med_list = []
for i in range(1, 6): # arbitrary number
k = 'med_%d' % i
self.fields[k] = forms.CharField(required=False, label=k)
self.med_list.append(self.fields[k])
def test(request):
Form = MedForm()
return HttpResponse(Form.as_p())
(example .py file at
http://www.pukkapeople.com/django/how-to-s/django_newforms.py/
)
