Include enctype in example forms
On this page:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/
It took me ages to figure out the reason files weren't uploading was because I'd left out enctype="multipart/form-data" from my <form> tag in my template.
I suggest changing the template examples from:
<form action="/contact/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
to:
<form action="/contact/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

What about using the
is_multipartproperty in the documentation?<form action="/contact/" method="post"{% if form.is_multipart %} enctype="multipart/form-data"{% endif %}>{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>
