[Fixed]-Django UpdateView "__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)"

The Task model has a foreign key to host. Since this is an update view, I don’t think you actually need to pass the host to the model form’s __init__ method. Use self.instance.host instead.

class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ...
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TaskForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['event'].queryset = Event.objects.filter(host=self.instance.host)
        ...

If you really do need to pass host to the model form, then you can override get_form_kwargs. Since host seems to be the logged in user, you would do:

class EditTask(UpdateView):  
    # since this is a class, EditTask is a better name than edit_task
    ...
    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super(EditTask, self).get_form_kwargs()
        kwargs['host'] = self.request.user
        return kwargs
