Hi all

I did the tutorial and I've spent the last two days in the
documentation trying, and failing, to figure out how to tie my model
to a view and ultimately a template that is served. The documentation
seems to do a lot of things (like write html) automatically which is
not what I want (see
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/).  I am not
interested in admin sites, they make things easier but I am interested
in learning the code (i.e. the HTML and how it communicates with
python) rather than, in my view, just blackbox automation.

I hope this makes sense. Please tell me if it doesn't.  I want to
simply upload a file and then process the file using code I already
have. I would like to write the HTML code myself rather then having
django automatically do it. This is because I want to learn how to
process forms and not have a black box do everything for me. Are there
methods to simply get post data from a form that I write rather the
django automatically creating it (an example maybe)? are models
necessary for what I'm explaining? Is django right for what I'm
explaining?
