copied!<p>Building on Antony Vennard's answer, I am not sure what version of python/django he is using but I could not get the generator to work in the curry method either. I am currently on python2.7.3 and django1.5.1. Instead of using a custom Generator, I ended up using the built-in <code>iter()</code> on a list of things to create an iterator and passing the iterator itself in the curry method and calling <code>next()</code> on it in the <code>Form</code> <code>__init__()</code>. Here is my solution:</p> <pre><code># Build the Formset: my_iterator = iter(my_list_of_things) # Each list item will correspond to a form. Formset = formset_factory(MyForm, extra=len(my_list_of_things)) Formset.form = staticmethod(curry(MyForm, item_iterator=my_iterator)) </code></pre> <p>And in the form:</p> <pre><code># forms.py class MyForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # Calling next() on the iterator/generator here: list_item = kwargs.pop('item_iterator').next() # Now you can assign whatever you passed in to an attribute # on one of the form elements. self.fields['my_field'].initial = list_item </code></pre> <p>Some Key things I found were that you need to either specify an 'extra' value in the <code>formset_factory</code> or use the <code>initial</code> kwarg on the formset to specify a list that corresponds to the list you pass to the iterator (In above example I pass the <code>len()</code> of the my_list_of_things list to 'extra' kwarg to formset_factory). This is necessary to actually create a number of forms in the formset.</p>
