Stripping leading and trailing whitespace from text fields in forms in
nearly always desirable, but Django doesn't handle this for me.
There seems to be a hook built in for massaging input data before it's
validated: FormField.prepare(). I tried subclassing TextField like so:

class MyTextField(django.forms.TextField):
    def prepare(self, new_data):
        new_data = new_data.strip()

But since strings are passed by copy, this has no effect.

Any suggestions?
Do you think this functionality should be built into Django?
