Define css class in django Forms

Yet another solution that doesn't require changes in python code and so is better for designers and one-off presentational changes: django-widget-tweaks. Hope somebody will find it useful.

Answered my own question. Sigh

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#django.forms.Widget.attrs

I didn't realize it was passed into the widget constructor.

Here is another solution for adding class definitions to the widgets after declaring the fields in the class.

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(SampleClass, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.fields['name'].widget.attrs['class'] = 'my_class'
