Hi, do you have a license for this gist? MIT or equivalent would be fantastic :)

what should i put under this classes?

fantastic thanks!

use these like this:

class NewUserView(MultipleFormsView):
    """ Get these in template using:
            {{ forms.newuser.as_ul }}
    """
    template_name = 'users/user_form.html'
    form_classes = {
        'newuser': NewUserForm,
        'newidea': NewIdeaForm,
    }

Loved it !

Thx for the great solution!
In Django 2.2 (elsewhere I did not test it) will cause an error. The problem is in the get_context_data (self, ** kwargs) method from FormMixin:

if 'form' not in kwargs:
  kwargs ['form'] = self.get_form()

The solution is simple - add to MultipleFormsMixin:

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
  if 'forms' not in kwargs:
    kwargs['forms'] = self.get_forms()
  return super().get_context_data(**kwargs)

And even a little detail: import View from django.views.generic.base is unnecessary. There's no use anywhere.
