Comment (by AndrewIngram):
I think you may have introduced too much in one go, I think this can all
be broken down into discrete things that need to be built. The way I see
it is like this (I haven't achieved all of this with my own implementation
yet):
1. FormSetView and ModelFormSet view should mimic FormView and
ModelFormView as closely as possible. In the same way that ModelFormMixin
extends FormMixin and SingleObjectMixin, ModelFormSetView should extend
FormSetMixin and MultipleObjectMixin, this way we get stuff like
pagination for free (I haven't done this yet, but it was part of the
plan).
2. For InlineFormSetView, I think we need to respect the API for
inline_formsets, ie it just simplifies building these formsets. Your
implementation of this view includes the form for the owner model, which I
think is too much functionality, it's part of the bigger problem of
finding a mechanism to combine various forms and formsets into a single
view.
3. Once we have established the functionality for creating views with
single formsets, we can start looking at ways to bridge the gap between
(for example) the needs of the admin and the basic formset views.
I must confess that I've not got my head around all of what you've done.
What is the purpose of the EnhancedFormset objects you've introduced?
