[Django]-Django admin form : dynamic fields list causes a KeyError which I can bypass just by pressing F5, why?

Here is working code:

class BlogPostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        if obj:
            if obj.kind == 'featured':
                self.exclude = ('attribut2',)
            elif obj.kind == 'classic':
                self.exclude = ('attribut1',)
        else:
            self.exclude = None

        return super(BlogPostAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)

admin.site.register(Post, BlogPostAdmin)

I get the gist of why it works, but I’m not going to pretend to be smart enough to understand it fully. Maybe somebody can comment and explain why it works.
