Accessing the fields from the form
----------------------------------
.. attribute:: Form.fields
You can access the fields of :class:`Form` instance from its ``fields``
attribute::
>>> for row in f.fields.values(): print(row)
...
<django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac632510>
<django.forms.fields.URLField object at 0x7ffaac632f90>
<django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac3aa050>
>>> f.fields['name']
<django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac6324d0>
You can alter the field of :class:`Form` instance to change the way it is
presented in the form::
>>> f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="instance" /></td></tr>'
>>> f.fields['name'].label = "Username"
>>> f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Username:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="instance" /></td></tr>'
Beware not to alter the ``base_fields`` attribute because this modification
will influence all subsequent ``ContactForm`` instances within the same Python
process::
>>> f.base_fields['name'].label = "Username"
>>> another_f = CommentForm(auto_id=False)
>>> another_f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Username:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="class" /></td></tr>'
Accessing "clean" data
