if self.value is not None:
del kwargs['value']
super(Thingo, self).__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
This is pretty much exactly what I came up with.
You might also want to consider avoiding the use of inheritance. I
can't really comment on whether it is desirable to use inheritance
here, given the supplied information. Personally I try to avoid
inheritance unless it is a really nice fit for the situation.
In this particular instance, I do actually need the inheritance. I'm
subclassing a django.newforms.Form.

Python version? Under 2.5.1:
Hmm, good point, I didn't check that. I was testing under 2.4.3 which is
on my CentOS 5.1 server. On my Ubuntu laptop, which has 2.5.1, my sample
code works as I was expecting.
Thanks guys.
