Where is it supposed to be saving to? Is it supposed to be a model form
maybe? http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/
Any way the real issue here is that you need to return the cleaned_data from
the clean function (or else no data comes back from the form. At the end of
the clean, put `return data`.

Take a look at the proper way to deal with forms in views from the
documentation here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/ .
This also has examples in it.
if form.is_valid():
# do stuff with a valid form here
else:
print form.errors # will display the validation errors from the form
It looks like your form is valid, it just doesn't have any data because the
clean function doesn't return any thing.
I hope that helps,
