class ContactAdmin(Admin):
form = EditContactForm
EditContactForm has a save method that is never called by the Admin
but its clean() function does get called
60 def clean(self):
61 import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
my confusion is that due to the snakey admin code the form class is created
using a different name and is created in the scope of a different module.
even though the class is explicitly specified in my Admin, that name is
replaced with class_name = model.__name__ + 'Form'
self.__class__
(Pdb) <class 'django.forms.models.ContactForm'>
self
(Pdb) <django.forms.models.ContactForm object at 0x23c16f0>
self.save
(Pdb) <bound method ContactForm.save of <django.forms.models.ContactForm
object at 0x23c16f0>>
dir(self)
(Pdb) ['Meta', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__',
'__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__',
'__metaclass__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
'__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__unicode__', '__weakref__',

I can see my clean_email method and other methods that I defined. it
*is*my class, but its name and module have been changed which makes
debugging
quite difficult.
this leads me on a wild goose-chase trying to figure out why the wrong form
was instantiated.
is there any reason that normal classes aren't used ? there doesn't seem to
be any use of passing in multiple bases
and I still don't know why save() isn't called by the admin
thankx for any insight
