> Hi,
>
> The documentation is correct: this is a new feature in the development
version of Django (soon-to-be 1.7), as described by the note under the
example:
>
> > In previous versions of Django, form.clean() was required to return a
dictionary of cleaned_data. This method may still return a dictionary of
data to be used, but it’s no longer required.
This however (referring to
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/forms/validation/#cleaning-and-
validating-fields-that-depend-on-each-other this example code]), is
inconsistent with the example code's statement
{{{
cleaned_data = super(ContactForm, self).clean()
}}}
about which a subsequent paragraph says:
> Note that the call to `super(ContactForm, self).clean()` in the example
code ensures that any validation logic in parent classes is maintained.
That is, if the `clean()` method of the parent class is coded like the
example code for the child, the example code won't work.
