Django - error with FormView

I'm fairly new to Django. I have a form that I need to display, so I am using the FormView class. However, since I changed to using this class (I just had it as a normal function previously), I am getting an error:

__init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

At location:

/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py in get_response, line 111

The traceback is simply:

response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)

The relevant view is:

class HMFInput(FormView):
    """
    The form for input. 
    """
    template_name = 'hmfform.html'
    form_class = forms.HMFInput
    success_url = '/hmf_finder/hmf_image_page/'

    def form_valid(self,form):
        canvas, file_object = utils.hmf_output(form)
        self.request.session["canvas"] = canvas
        self.request.session["text"] = file_object
        return super(HMFInput,self).form_valid(form)

I tried to follow almost exactly the example from the documentation. Any idea what's going wrong?

EDIT: My urls.py calls the view with the following:

url(r'^hmf_finder/$',
    'hmf_finder.views.HMFInput',
    name = 'HMF-input'),

Cheers.

Try this in urls.py:

from finder.views import HMFInput

url(r'^hmf_finder/$', HMFInput.as_view(), name = 'HMF-input'),
