title: Multiple form classes in django generic (class) views
body: <p>I'd like to use the class based generic views of django 1.3 for forms, but sometimes have to manage multiple form classes in one form. However, it looks like the existing views based on FormMixin assume a single form class.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible with generic views and how would I do it? </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: to clarify, I have one form but more than one (ModelForm based) class. For example in the inline_formset example in the django docs, I would want to present a page where an author <em>and</em> his books can be edited at once, in a single form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>author_form = AuthorForm(request.POST, instance = author)
  books_formset = BookInlineFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=author)
  </code></pre>
