Well, there was no way to tell that from the original posting because it
didn't include any of that code.
This code is very bizarre. You instantiate the form with
`tform=popform(instance=dt)` and then attempt to call it again with
`tform(perDict)`. I expect that the `object not callable` exception actually
happens here, not in the is_valid() call.
The correct way to instantiate a form from a post using an existing model
instance is to pass both arguments at the same time:
`tform = popform(perDict, instance=dt)`
Also, you should consider why you need to pre-process the request to get the
perDict dictionary. It would make more sense to use the same field names in
the template as in the form.
