This is standard Python behavior. If you need to depend on data that may change between the time the form class is loaded and a form instance is created, you need to put the logic that retrieves and uses that data into an __init__ function. The __init__ function will get called each time a NewArticle form instance is created, rather than just once when the NewArticle code is imported/loaded.
