In my views.py, i have a snippit of code like this:

def clean_post_data(form):     for i in form.cleaned_data:         form.cleaned_data[i] = form.cleaned_data[i].rstrip()  def add_product(request):        form = ProductForm(request.POST, request.FILES or None)     image = Image.objects.all()     action = 'Add'      if request.POST:         if form.is_valid():             clean_post_data(form)             form.save()             action = 'Added new product'             return render_to_response('cms/admin/action.html', {'action' : action},context_instance=RequestContext(request))         else:             action = 'There was an error. Please go back and try again'             return render_to_response('cms/admin/action.html', {'action' : action}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))      return render_to_response('cms/admin/editproduct.html', {'form' : form, 'action' : action, 'image' : image}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

But when i run that, i get the following error 'list' object has no attribute 'rstrip'. What am i doing wrong.

I originally had the for i in form.cleaned_data: loop directly in the view (not in another function) and it worked fine, but now when i try it i get the same error as above. http://dpaste.com/92836/

  1. The clean_post_data shouldn’t be a stand-alone function.

    It should be a method in the form, named clean. See Form and Field Validation.
