It seems to like that! `(arg1, OTHER_VAL=OTHER_VAL)
Now I'm trying to access that other_value:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
OTHER_VAL = kwargs.get('OTHER_VAL') #tried these: #kwargs['OTHER_VAL']
#kwargs.pop('OTHER_VAL')
super(MY_FORM, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
Keep on getting errors like:
`KeyError: 'OTHER_VAL'`
# or
__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'OTHER_VAL'
