Re: UpdateView help

To get keywords from your url, take a look at self.kwargs.

Remember you are working with a Class now, and keeping that in mind is
fundamental to not getting frustrated with the new CBVs.
get_object() is a method that can be overridden by subclasses. Browse
the source code for the CBVs to and try to understand what are some of
the methods defined by the superclasses.

That said, the documentation is indeed lacking. Unfortunately, my
knowledge of the API is rather limited, so I was hoping other
developers could contribute to it.

Sincerely,
