I'd like to find a way to let my users submit form data without submitting it via an actual web form. For example, I have users that would like to send their data via email, or perhaps provide it in an excel spread sheet,
I'm trying to figure out how to do this and still leverage all the error checking associated with my forms (ie, via is_valid). I'm thinking that on the server side I could create a form with initial data, and then instead of rendering that form, I'd like to just convert it directly to a POST data dict, as if the user submitted the form without making any changes. Then I'd take that POST data, add a bit of additinal data that I've gotten from some other source (ie from email or excel), then run is_valid(), then do my standard save to my db object. Can anyone comment on if this seems like a good approach for doing this, and if so, if there is any django support for turning a form directly into a data dict? Thanks!
