Do you mean tabular sort of form?

gross deductible
2009-11-11 [...] [...]
2009-11-10 [...] [...]
sort of thing?

There are certainly ways of doing it directly as one django form object
(python is quite dynamic), but you could maybe look at the FormSet
infrastructure - one form per month in a formset.

An important thing to bear in mind when working with django forms is
that 1 django form doesn't have to map to 1 html form. You can use N
django form objects in 1 html form, separating them with a prefix.
