Django's forms.Form vs forms.ModelForm

Question

Could anyone explain to me similarities and differences of Django\'s forms.Form & forms.ModelForm?

Answer 1

Here's how I'm extending the builtin UserCreationForm myapp/forms.py:

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm


class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm):

    first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    email = forms.CharField(max_length=75)

    class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
        fields = ('username','first_name','last_name', 'email')
