Re: Read from an uploaded file and put data in a form for automatic Django validation

This works:

In forms.py:

class UploadForm(forms.Form):

  name = forms.CharField(label='name')

  addr1 = forms.CharField(label='addr1')

Interactive:

>>> from django import *

>>> from app.forms import *

>>> d = {'name': 'Fibber McGee', 'addr1': '79 Wistful Vista'}

>>> form = UploadForm(d)

>>> form.is_bound

True

>>> form.is_valid()

True

>>> form.cleaned_data

{'name': u'Fibber McGee', 'addr1': u'79 Wistful Vista'}

>>>

I get a bound form from this, and Django does the validation for me.

Hi all,

Being lazy, I want Django to validate the stuff I read from an uploaded file as if it were being posted.  Is there a nice way to do this?
