python - Strip spaces from Django form -

i getting form through post request:

form = reportdataform2(req.post) 

i trying strip spaces fields by:

for element in form:       form[element] = form[element].strip()    

but not seem anything.

i tried stripping @ point receiving data:

            id = form.cleaned_data['id'].strip() 

not working either.

i new django don't know how forms treated.

how this: extend charfield class, create own field, , use anytime want have stripped field?

class strippedcharfield(charfield):      """newforms charfield strips trailing , leading spaces."""      def clean(self, value):          if value not none:              value = value.strip()          return super(strippedcharfield, self).clean(value) 

there's been long discussion on whether form data stripping should handled django or not. discussion resurrected actual thread started 7 years ago

i haven't tested code above myself. the solution pulled forum discussion
