I strongly suspect you're debugging the wrong problem here. ModelForms
accept dictionaries quite happily. The fact that your form doesn't pass
validation doesn't mean it's because you passed in a dictionary. It's
because you didn't pass in all the required data or because some of the
data is invalid. Have a look at the errors associate with the form and
that should give you some more information (for example, you aren't
passing the 'id' field for the form).
