Fill a Form on the same page with different classes - write to DB and display values

Question

I have a model with 5 entities and intend to create a form (on the same page) but do not know how to integrate more than one form.

In my main, i can play very well with the forms and write to database, but I need to put more fields on the page. These fields are of different models. ** My models: Teacher, Account(ReferenceProperty), Experience (ReferenceProperty), ServiceDistribution(ReferenceProperty), Experience(ReferenceProperty)

My forms:

  class TeacherForm(djangoforms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model =models.Teacher
        exclude = ['user']

and the same for other models

My Main:

class CreateCvHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        if self.request.get('EscTeacher'):
            id = int(self.request.get('EscTeacher'))
            teacher=models.teacher.get(db.Key.from_path('Teacher', id))
        else:
            teacher= models.teacher()

        data = forms.TeacherForm(data = self.request.POST)
        if data.is_valid():

            userList= models.Account.all()
            userList.filter('user =', users.get_current_user())

            for user in userList:
                teacher.user=user.key()
            teacher.unity=self.request.get('unity')
            teacher.category=self.request.get('category')
            teacher.regime=self.request.get('regime')


            teacher.put()
            self.redirect('/academy')
        else:
            self.redirect('/createCv')**

Help Please...

If I understood you correctly what you can do is create forms for each model and display them in the template having a single save button. Now when submitted, in your view you can validate each form and add or update the db as required.
