Re: Proper way to strip whitespace from Charfields in a form in current version of Django?

[Andre Terra]

Why not add a custom clean_fieldname method to your class? Perhaps you
could dig into the original BaseModelForm and see how it constructs
validation, and override whatever is needed.

I'm on my phone atm, so I'll let you do the footwork alone, at least for now.

Proper way to strip whitespace from Charfields in a form in current version of Django?

[br]

There seems to be a raging and unresolved discussion about how to
address the issue of stripping whitespace from form fields in future
versions of Django over on the Developers group:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/90352cc0da78390b
.

In the present, what is the proper place to strip whitespace?

I've starting down this path:

http://www.peterbe.com/plog/automatically-strip-whitespace-in-django-forms

by setting up a BaseModelForm class, but i don't necessarily like the
fact that I could have a field with "blank=False" that will still
validate if you have an input of just whitespace, since apparently
"clean" gets called after validation takes place.  Is the override of
full_clean referenced in the comments the way around this then? Seems
pretty hacky.

Thanks

Ben
