Quick note: This isn't necessary. Django will add a pk for you [1]_.
To make an empty form a good place to start is form_for_model [2]_.
First create the form class::
ContactInfoForm = form_for_model(ContactInfo)
If you only want a few of the fields from your model in this form use
the fields [3]_ argument in the example above.
Then create an empty form::
form = ContactInfoForm()
You're nearly there at this point. For an example of a view to process
this form, look at the bottom of the form_for_instance section [4]_
(this is also how to make an edit-form with data from the database).
The docs can be pretty daunting at first, but stick with 'em and feel
free to run any questions you have past this list!
Good luck,
