Looks like I was missing an `initial` inside init... 0_o

It seems to like that! `(arg1, OTHER_VAL=OTHER_VAL)
Now I'm trying to access that other_value:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
OTHER_VAL = kwargs.get('OTHER_VAL') #tried these: #kwargs['OTHER_VAL']
#kwargs.pop('OTHER_VAL')
super(MY_FORM, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
Keep on
You get that error because you use kwargs.pop (presumably that's why)
and you pass OTHER_VALUE as a positional argument.
E.g.
MY_FORM(request.POST, OTHER_VALUE=OTHER_VALUE)
would pass it as a keyword argument and then you can
use kwargs.pop('OTHER_VALUE') in the form's init.

When I call my form in my view, I am trying to pass MY_VALUE to the form as
an argument.
I am doing this because I want to get my validation out of my views and
into my forms.
*views.py*
OTHER_VALUE = "the query that i run"
if request.method=='POST':
form = MY_FORM(request.POST, OTHER_VALUE)
