Automatically strip whitespace in Django forms

Kyle January 13, 2010 Reply

clean() is called after the individual fields have been validated and so it would not solve, for example, extra whitespace at the end of a password. I like to override full_clean() instead.

def full_clean(self):
stripped_data = {}
for k, v in self.data.items():
stripped_data[k] = v.strip()
self.data = stripped_data
super(LoginForm, self).full_clean()
