InviteFriendForm cleaned_data error

[philomates]

When trying to use the InviteFriendForm in such a way:
form = InviteFriendForm(user=request.user)
form.initial['to_user'] = "peter"
form = form.clean()
if form.is_valid():
...

I get the error:
'InviteFriendForm' object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'

If I'm just approaching this from a silly angle, could you please let me know the proper way to use the InviteFriendForm.
Also, usage examples or an overview on the wiki would be very helpful.

thanks

'peter' isn't a valid user, and the code doesn't handle that case. this fixes it:

 def clean(self):

•  if "to_user" in self.cleaned_data:
  

  • to_user = User.objects.get(username=self.cleaned_data["to_user"])

OK, that looks lame.
need to add
if "to_user" in self.cleaned_data:

How do I submit a patch?
