Answer 1

I think the value_from_datadict() code can be simplified to:

class USPhoneNumberMultiWidget(forms.MultiWidget):
    """
    A Widget that splits US Phone number input into three  boxes.
    """
    def __init__(self,attrs=None):
        widgets = (
            forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':'3','maxlength':'3', 'class':'phone'}),
            forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':'3','maxlength':'3', 'class':'phone'}),
            forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':'4','maxlength':'4', 'class':'phone'}),
        )
        super(USPhoneNumberMultiWidget, self).__init__(widgets, attrs)

    def decompress(self, value):
        if value:
            return value.split('-')
        return [None,None,None]

    def value_from_datadict(self, data, files, name):
        values = super(USPhoneNumberMultiWidget, self).value_from_datadict(data, files, name)
        return u'%s-%s-%s' % values

The value_from_datadict() method for MultiValueWidget already does the following:

    def value_from_datadict(self, data, files, name):
        return [widget.value_from_datadict(data, files, name + '_%s' % i) for i, widget in enumerate(self.widgets)]
