[Fixed]-How do you strip whitespace from entries in django forms?

Pass in the request method when you instantiate this form. You can check for request method with: 

post = request.method == 'POST'

The you can pass this into the modified __init__ below. 

class BitbucketCreateRepoForm(forms.Form):
    def __init__(self, repo_name=None, post=False, *args, **kwargs):
        if repo_name and post:
            self.repo_name = json.dumps(repo_name).strip()
        super(BitbucketCreateRepoForm, self).__init__()

    username    = forms.ChoiceField(required=True, initial='codyc54321', choices=BITBUCKET_USERNAME_CHOICES)
    repo_name   = forms.CharField(required=True, label='Repo name')
    description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, required=False)

UPDATE:
I was typing as you modified your question. In order to get the string representation of a QueryDict object simply import json then json.dumps(repo_name). Hope that helps.
