no newforms.TextField() available?!?!?

[Jens Diemer]

I would like to use the newforms.TextField() to make a html textarea. But i get
the error:
'module' object has no attribute 'TextField'

I wounder, because in the Docu i find TextField unter field types list:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/#field-types

my code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
from django import newforms as forms

class MailForm(forms.Form):
...
mail_text = forms.TextField()
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This works:
mail_text = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

Note: I used the unicode-branch.

That's by design. Whether to show an input type="text" or a textarea
is a matter of widgets, so you differentiate between them by using
different widgets.
