Er, yes. As the traceback says, request doesn't have a 'gk' attribute.
What makes you think it should? gk is a field on the form, and there
is a corresponding member of request.POST if the field has been filled
in and submitted.
You could use request.POST['gk'], but since you're using a ModelForm,
you don't need to do any of that - just call form.save(), and that
will return a properly saved GKtest instance.
