To do that you want to get a dictionary out of the object, which means using the '__dict__' attribute. For example: my_obj = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1) form = MyForm(my_obj.__dict__) The form is smart enough to take a dictionary-like object and pull out the values it wants; that's how it works with request.POST, for example. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
