Accessing request.user in formset validation

Hi all,

in some of my forms and formsets I need access to request.user in form
validation.

With an individual form, I pass request.user as a parameter to the
constructor, using code like this:

class ErfasseZeitraumForm(forms.Form):
von = forms.DateField(widget=AdminDateWidget())
bis = forms.DateField(widget=AdminDateWidget())

def __init__(self, User, *args, **kwargs):
super(ErfasseZeitraumForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.User = User


How can I achieve the same for entire formsets?

I'm still quite new to Python, and I'm unsure what to override where to
make the formset factory pass the request.user to all form constructors,
or even if that is the "best" and canonical way to this?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Carsten
