Comment (by Petr Marhoun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
There is method initial_data in the newforms-admin branch:
{{{
#!python
from django.newforms.models import initial_data
form = MyForm(initial=initial_data(myinstance))
}}}
I think that this method should be accessible as
django.newforms.initial_data (it is very usefull) - see the patch
[http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/5126/initial-data-
newforms-admin.diff initial-data-newforms-admin.diff] (only one word is
added).
The patch [http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/5126/initial-
data-trunk.diff initial-data-trunk.diff] is invalid - I didn't know that
this method isn't in trunk.
