Use 2 separate ModelForms. One for each model. If the 2 models happen
to have overlapping field names, you can use the 'prefix' argument to
the form to avoid name collisions.
One bit to be wary of is calling form.is_valid() in your view. If you
have something like this:
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
# save stuff
and user_form.is_valid is False, profile_form.is_valid() won't be
called. I usually write a function called all_valid(list_of_forms)
that calls is_valid() on each form and returns False if any of them
fail.
