Comment:
I'm going to mark this as accepted, but with a slightly broader scope than
you've given the problem.
This problem exists for form wizards, but it also exists for generic
views, too. The root of the problem is that you need to be able to combine
forms and formsets (or multiple forms and formsets) on a single page. This
is true of a page of a wizard, but it's also true of a "FormView" as well.
Now - the nice thing is that Forms and Formsets share a common interface
-- that's why you're able to use a formset as a page in a wizard. To my
mind, what we need to do here is write a container object that can wrap
multiple forms and formsets,
I've done this on some of my own projects, and the approach works fine;
I've attached an example of the code you can use to do it. This needs a
lot of work to turn it into a feature, but I think it's a feature worth
adding.
