Here it is:
=============================================================================
from django.forms import ModelForm
class NewTaskForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Task
exclude = ('is_completed', 'created_date')
=============================================================================
Task defined this way:
=============================================================================
class Task(models.Model):
caption = models.CharField(max_length=255)
importance = models.IntegerField(choices=IMPORTANCE_CHOICES)
probability = models.IntegerField(choices=PROBABILITY_CHOICES)
created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now,
editable = False)
due_date = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
is_completed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):
return self.caption
def get_priority(self):
return self.importance * self.probability
def get_is_overdue(self):
return not self.is_completed and datetime.datetime.now() >
self.due_date
def get_absolute_url(self):
return '/py/test_app/task/%i' % self.pk
=============================================================================

It's my first django app. I don't aim for production/ I'm skimming
over docs and trying to evaluate django by creating something fast and
dirty.
