Re: form.Forms + POST + forms.ChoiceField

So much code ;-)
at first I'm proposing to add some code for form.is_valid block
for example :
if form.is_valid():
source = Sources.objects.get(name=source)
allPosts = Posts.objects.filter(PostSource=source)
subreddits = SubReddits.objects.all()
source = form.cleaned_data['foo']
return render_to_response('feeds.html',
{'allPosts': allPosts,
'subreddits': subreddits},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
else:
print form.error

This will help to catch error with form .

Also it is not correct to use this construction:

class SourceSelection(forms.Form):
sources = Sources.objects.all()
foo = forms.ChoiceField(choices=sources)

This mean that you never add any sources. or sources object are add
before starting application. For dynamic loading objects in the form
use form constructor.
and last one point :

Please separate views and form in the different files : views.py forms.py
