You'll need to show some code to help debug this properly, but at a
guess I'd say that you're not preserving the default args/kwargs
properly in your overridden init, and/or not passing them properly to
super().
You should be doing something like this:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, custom_param, *args, **kwargs):
do_something_with_custom_param
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
or if your custom param needs to be a keyword argument,
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
custom_param = kwargs.pop('custom_param')
etc...
