The point is, you've told Django that `location` isn't a field on this form,
by specifying it in `exclude`. So Django doesn't take any notice of the
extra element you've added in cleaned_data.
The way to do this is to override the form's save method and do it there:
def save(self, commit=False):
market = super(FarmersMarket, self).save(commit=False)
place, (lat, lng) = _g.geocode(market.address)
market.location = Point(lng,lat)
if commit:
market.save()
return market
