Django accessing formset data

cd is a dictionary. Also, you might want to fetch the dictionary values from individual forms rather than the formset

if request.method == 'POST':    formset = MemberFormSet(request.POST)    if formset.is_valid():        for f in formset:             cd = f.cleaned_data            first_name = cd.get('first_name')            last_name = cd.get('last_name')            email = cd.get('email')            house = House.objects.get(id = id)            member = Member(first_name = first_name, last_name = last_name, email = email, house = house, created_on = timezone.now())            member.save()        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('houses:controlPanel'))

I think you should be using a model_formsetfactory, or even better, an inlineformset_factory. You are populating models from form data, which is what they are designed for. Get the dirty models from the formset, using commit=False, and add in your House relationship. Something like this:

MemberFormSet = model_formset_factory(Member, extra= members)if request.method == POST:    formset = MemberFormSet(request.POST)    if formset.is_valid():        house = House.objects.get(id = id)        models = formset.save(commit=False)        for member in models:            member.house = house            member.save()        return render(<your data>)else:    formset = MemberFormSet()return render(<your data>)

Note your get() will also throw an exception if the House object doesn't exist. Just a design consideration.
