I recently implemented the form_for_model() helper function in django.newforms, which returns a Form class for a given Model class. It has a create() method, which actually creates the object from form data. This is the replacement for automatic AddManipulator classes.
But there's a problem -- the newforms library returns all data in Unicode, whereas the PostgreSQL psycopg1 database backend only accepts bytestrings and does not automatically convert Unicode to bytestrings (see http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3115 ). As a somewhat related issue, the ticket http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/952 proposes a DATABASE_CLIENT_CHARSET setting. This would specify the charset used by your database. Currently Django assumes MySQL uses utf-8 in the database, and (if I remember correctly) assumes other databases are using the encoding specified by DEFAULT_CHARSET. Does anybody have comments on that patch before I commit it?
