"""
``BetterForm`` and ``BetterModelForm`` are subclasses of Form
and ModelForm that allow for declarative definition of fieldsets
and row_attrs in an inner Meta class.
The row_attrs declaration is a dictionary mapping field names to
dictionaries of attribute/value pairs. The attribute/value
dictionaries will be flattened into HTML-style attribute/values
(i.e. {'style': 'display: none'} will become ``style="display:
none"``), and will be available as the ``row_attrs`` attribute of
the ``BoundField``. Also, a CSS class of "required" or "optional"
will automatically be added to the row_attrs of each
``BoundField``, depending on whether the field is required.
The fieldsets declaration is a list of two-tuples very similar to
the ``fieldsets`` option on a ModelAdmin class in
``django.contrib.admin``.
The first item in each two-tuple is a name for the fieldset (must
be unique, so that overriding fieldsets of superclasses works),
and the second is a dictionary of fieldset options
Valid fieldset options in the dictionary include:
``fields`` (required): A tuple of field names to display in this
fieldset.
``classes``: A list of extra CSS classes to apply to the fieldset.
``legend``: This value, if present, will be the contents of a
``legend`` tag to open the fieldset. If not present the unique
name of the fieldset will be used (so a value of '' for legend
must be used if no legend is desired.)
``description``: A string of optional extra text to be displayed
under the ``legend`` of the fieldset.
When iterated over, the ``fieldsets`` attribute of a
``BetterForm`` (or ``BetterModelForm``) yields ``Fieldset``s.
Each ``Fieldset`` has a name attribute, a legend attribute, and a
description attribute, and when iterated over yields its
``BoundField``s.
For backwards compatibility, a ``BetterForm`` or
``BetterModelForm`` can still be iterated over directly to yield
all of its ``BoundField``s, regardless of fieldsets.
For more detailed examples, see the doctests in tests/__init__.py.

Comments
Hi. Nice work, there is a small bug thoug:
in FieldsetCollection _ len _ should be defined as:
otherwise the "for" tag for example wont enter the loop if there are no formsets defined since it seems to check the length of the iterable before starting the loop.
#
Thanks for the feedback. Not sure why I should lie about the number of fieldsets when there aren't any. If you don't define any fieldsets, you should loop over "field in form" normally, not "fieldset in form.fieldsets".
Can you say more about the usage case that makes this a problem?
#
Hi, it's the logical consequence of the code in line 67 (i.e. put all fields in one "dummy" fieldset if none are defined).
My use-case is simply a generic template that assumes all forms have formsets.
#
Oh, of course, you're right.
#
Thanks for this... however, there is a small syntax error: the "ls" on line 42
