Django: AttributeError

class EventDeleteView(generic.FormView):
    form_class = EventDeleteForm
    template_name = 'event/event_delete.html'

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
   ---> self.event = Event.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])

    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super().get_form_kwargs()
   ---> kwargs['pk'] = self.kwargs['pk']

What I do not understand is why self.kwargs['pk'] in the get_form_kwargs(self) method works and why it does not work in the constructor.

I get this error: 'EventDeleteView' object has no attribute 'kwargs'

It’s because self.kwargs is set in the view function returned from .as_view and not in the base class constructor.
