Is there any way to add a class attribute to an input tag generated by django.models?

I can't figure it out for the life of me. I don't think it's possible. Something so simple shouldn't be hard at all. Anyone?

I don't think any of these is particularly what the asker was looking for and now a few years after the question was posted this can be done much more intuitively. I think the asker wants the ModelForm field to render the input tag with a class attribute which you set in your view.

If so, the answer is here:

How do I set default widget attributes for a Django ModelForm?

Indeed, maybe this was the case even way back in 09, in which case the other answers should be downvoted. But I wasn't working with Django back then so I'll leave that to others.

django-html provides a templatetag which allows you to add extra attributes in the template, like so:

{% field form.fieldname class="myclass" %}

You just need to override the relevant field in your form class, and add your attribute to the widget. This is described clearly in the documentation.

Not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean an HTML <input> tag generated by django.forms? If so, just specify a custom widget, using the attrs attribute in the constructor. See docs.
