MultiForm and MultiModelForm

Based on a PrefixDict class I wrote and thus very lean. Lacks a little documentation, though

class MyMultiForm(ModelMultiForm):
    class Meta:
        localized_fields = '__all__'

    form_classes = OrderedDict((
        ('form1', Form1),
        ('form2', Form2),
    ))

Subfields are named form-name prefix_sep subfield-name. prefix_sep defaults to -. For access in templates, use form.varfields, which uses var_prefix_sep (default: _), instead.

multiform.varfields()['form1_field1']
