)


class ContactForm(forms.Form):
topic=forms.ChoiceField(choices=TOPIC_CHOICES)
sender=forms.EmailField(required=False)
message=forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
#the widget here would specify a form with a comment that uses a larger Textarea   widget, rather than the default TextInput widget.

def clean_message(self):
    message=self.cleaned_data.get('message','')
    num_words=len(message.split())
