The validation method needs to be able to look up the user or have it
passed in. I would pass it in. You can write an __init__ method for your
RegistrationFormSimple class that accepts an extra parameter (preferably
a keyword argument) that it uses in the validator. For example
class RegistrationFormSimple(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.user = kwargs.pop("user")
super(RegistrationFormSimple, self).__init__(*args,
**kwargs)
def clean_email(self):
# Can refer to self.user in here
Then you can create this form in your view like this:
userForm = RegistrationFormSimple(data, user=request.user)
