"""
Formtools Preview application.
This is an abstraction of the following workflow:
"Display an HTML form, force a preview, then do something with the submission."
Given a django.newforms.Form object that you define, this takes care of the
following:
* Displays the form as HTML on a Web page.
* Validates the form data once it's submitted via POST.
* If it's valid, displays a preview page.
* If it's not valid, redisplays the form with error messages.
* At the preview page, if the preview confirmation button is pressed, calls
a hook that you define -- a done() method.
The framework enforces the required preview by passing a shared-secret hash to
the preview page. If somebody tweaks the form parameters on the preview page,
the form submission will fail the hash comparison test.
Usage
=====
Subclass FormPreview and define a done() method:
def done(self, request, clean_data):
# ...
This method takes an HttpRequest object and a dictionary of the form data after
it has been validated and cleaned. It should return an HttpResponseRedirect.
Then, just instantiate your FormPreview subclass by passing it a Form class,
and pass that to your URLconf, like so:
(r'^post/$', MyFormPreview(MyForm)),
The FormPreview class has a few other hooks. See the docstrings in the source
code below.
The framework also uses two templates: 'formtools/preview.html' and
'formtools/form.html'. You can override these by setting 'preview_template' and
'form_template' attributes on your FormPreview subclass. See
django/contrib/formtools/templates for the default templates.

use in done().
