Object does not support item assignment error
The error seems clear: model objects do not support item assignment.
MyModel.objects.latest('id')['foo'] = 'bar' will throw this same error.
It's a little confusing that your model instance is called projectForm...
To reproduce your first block of code in a loop, you need to use setattr
for k,v in session_results.iteritems():
setattr(projectForm, k, v)
Another way would be adding __getitem__, __setitem__ function
def __getitem__(self, key):
return getattr(self, key)
You can use self[key] to access now.
