Hi,
It seems familiar to an issue I had last week.
Can we see the function in your views file? I am guessing that you need
to instantiate your ziplookup object or something (I think this is what
I did wrong). Try changing {{ form.as_table }} to {{ form }}, just to
see what it prints...
I could be worng (I taught myself to code so have plenty of bad
habits!!), but I think the convention when defining classes is to use
CamelCase: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase for the class name -
it helps to differentiate between function calls and object
instantiations when reading your code.
Em :)
PS python rocks.
