On the forms overview, the views.py snippet:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/forms/
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
def get_name(request):
# if this is a POST request we need to process the form data
if request.method == 'POST':
# create a form instance and populate it with data from the
request:
form = NameForm(request.POST)
# check whether it's valid:
if form.is_valid():
# process the data in form.cleaned_data as required
# ...
# redirect to a new URL:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
# if a GET (or any other method) we'll create a blank form
else:
form = NameForm()
return render(request, 'name.html', {'form': form})
If you call NameForm() #2nd to last line of code
Won't that cause an import error?

Comment (by bmispelon):
Hi,
The assumption is that we're reusing the `NameForm` defined in the
previous paragraph [1].
The whole section is meant to be read sequentially so I don't know if we
need to make that more explicit.
What do you think?
Thanks.
