You can't 'convert' a string to an instance of a class. What you can
do is use the string as the key into a dictionary of the relevant
classes:
form_dict = { 'Company' : CompanyForm, 'AnotherModel', :
AnotherModelForm }
form_class = form_dict[model_name]
f = form_class()
Or you could do something similar by using the built-in locals()
dictionary.
