I'm going to answer my own question in case anyone searches in the
future. And, eventually, I'll start thinking in Python and figure out
these things before sending a message to the list. I'm afraid too much
Java has warped me forever.
I just added the request object as an attribute on the form before
calling the is_valid method. In other words:
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ChangePasswordForm(request.POST)
form.request = request
if form.is_valid():
Now all of the clean methods can access the request object as
self.request inside the form class.
