I'm making a custom user form where a user can go in to change some details. It got two errors that I cannot understand what the problem is though.
The first problem is that the form doesn't fill out the user details. And it seems to be because self
is empty when form is initialized, why?
And the second problem is that when I submit this form, it will complain about some KeyError, which I don't get either. I've pasted the code and stacktrace.

Regarding your second problem, I also came across the same issue today, while updating from Django 1.3 to Django 1.4. I had a custom form just like you:
class UserProfileForm(UserChangeForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', )
I solved the problem by adding a clean_password
method like this:
class UserProfileForm(UserChangeForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', )
def clean_password(self):
return "" # This is a temporary fix for a django 1.4 bug
