Object does not support item assignment error

Question

In my views py I assign values before saving the form  I used to do it the following way   projectForm lat   session results  lat   projectForm lng   session results  lng     Now  since the list of variables got a bit long  I wanted to loop over session results with the following loop  as described by Adam here    for k v in session results iteritems        projectForm k    v   But I get the error  Project  object does not support item assignment for the loop solution  I have trouble to understand why  Project is the model class  which I use for the ModelForm   Thank you for your help

The error seems clear  model objects do not support item assignment  MyModel objects latest  id    foo      bar  will throw this same error   It s a little confusing that your model instance is called projectForm     To reproduce your first block of code in a loop  you need to use setattr  for k v in session results iteritems        setattr projectForm  k  v

Another way would be adding   getitem      setitem   function  def   getitem   self  key       return getattr self  key    You can use self key  to access now
