Not really a DRY issue moreover there is an easier logic to your code:
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# make new model object and save
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form = MyForm(initial=data)
return render_to_response('template.html',
RequestContext(request, {
'foo': foo,
'bar': bar
}))
The docs call this a simple view example:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/#simple-view-example
Hope that helps,
Michael
