Whenever you use a {{ form.field.errors }} tag in a Django template, the validation message that is displayed is always surrounded with a unordered list tag. This is not ideal for me. Am I able to modify the surrounding validation message html for a form from a reusable package?

To display the form errors, you use form. is_valid() to make sure that it passes validation. Django says the following for custom validations: Note that any errors raised by your Form.
Django provides built-in methods to validate form data automatically. Django forms submit only if it contains CSRF tokens. It uses uses a clean and easy approach to validate data. The is_valid() method is used to perform validation for each field of the form, it is defined in Django Form class.
From the django docs about looping over a form's fields:
{{ field.errors }}
Outputs a<ul class="errorlist">containing any validation errors corresponding to this field. You can customize the presentation of the errors with a{% for error in field.errors %}loop. In this case, each object in the loop is a simple string containing the error message.
So for example, to wrap each error in <p> tags you would do:
{% for error in field.errors %}
<p>{{ error|escape }}</p>
{% endfor %}
