I am updating old django code from method-based views to class-based views.
I know how to include media (css/js) in forms via the Media class
How can I use the media class if my class based view does not contain any forms?

CSS/JS are usually managed in the template itself and not in the view. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/
For example, use base.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
{% block page_title %}{{ page_title }}{% endblock %}
</title>
{% block css %}
{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
{% block main %}
{% endblock %}
{% block scripts %}
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
and extend it with my_page.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block page_title %}
Hello!
{% endblock %}
{% block css %}
<link href="{% static "page.css" %}" rel="stylesheet"/>
{% endblock %}
{% block main %}
Yo!
{% endblock %}
{% block scripts %}
<script src="{% static 'my_scripts.js' %}"></script>
{% endblock %}
Django Sekizai is meant for this:
Here is the example from their documentation:
{% load sekizai_tags %}
<html>
<head>
{% render_block "css" %}
</head>
<body>
Your content comes here.
Maybe you want to throw in some css:
{% addtoblock "css" %}
<link href="/media/css/stylesheet.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
{% endaddtoblock %}
Some more content here.
{% addtoblock "js" %}
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Hello django-sekizai");
</script>
{% endaddtoblock %}
And even more content.
{% render_block "js" %}
</body>
</html>
This example shows everything in one template, but - of course - you can split that into multiple templates either by inheritance or includes and use the addtoblock directives in any of the partial templates.
A more complex, real life example is also in their documentation.
