copy data from form feild in django to a variable

model.py

 class Client(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    phone_no = models.CharField(max_length=12)
    mail = models.EmailField()

view.py

def create(request):
  if request.POST:
    form = ClientForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        subject = form.cleaned_data['name']
        mail = form.cleaned_data['mail']
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
        form = ClientForm()

args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))

args['form'] = form

   return render_to_response('save.html', args)


 html


<form action="/create/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<ul>
    {{ form}}
</ul>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create Client">
</form>
</body>
</html>

In your view code you've got the form data available already, mail = form.cleaned_data['mail'] gives you the email address (if you do a print form.cleaned_data you'll see in your console all the form data.
