form object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'

[jeff]

so i've searched high and low on this error. lots of answers about
having used old versions of django. i did this:

j@earth:/home/samba/raymour/v1/rrsite$ django-admin.py --version
1.1.1

then a lot of stuff about python path having been done with an easy
installer and having an 'egg' in it. doesn't seem i have that problem:

['/home/samba/ray/v1/rrsite', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/
python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/

usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/local/lib/
python2.6/dist-packages']

i just used the version on ubuntu.

here is my form:
from django import forms

class SymForm(forms.Form):
sym1=forms.CharField()
sym2=forms.CharField()

and view:
def add_pair(request):
# these are the basic locals we need to set for the template to
populate
page_title='Add a Pair'
if request.method == 'POST':
form=SymForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid:
s1=form.cleaned_data['sym1'] #form.cleaned_data['subject']
#s2=form.clean_sym2
s=Pair(sym1=s1,sym2=s2)
s.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/sym/added/')

please can you offer any suggestions???

thanks in advance.

is_valid is a call - you want this:

if form.is_valid():
