I'm not entirely sure I follow, but it sounds like Django's generic
views would do the trick.
See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/generic-views -
specifically the section on create/update views. That does the view/
form part for you, allowing you simply to define the URL in your
urls.py and give it a template. Is that what you're after?
