15099	ModelFormset.queryset requirement is too strict	Jari Pennanen	nobody	"Why is the ModelFormset requiring QuerySet? With very few modifications to BaseModelFormset it could be sequence, list or RawQuerySet.

In my specific use case I needed to use RawQuerySet in the ModelFormset, following workaround works for RawQuerySets and lists of objects:

{{{
def edit_users(request):
    class FakeQuerySet(list):
        def __init__(self, seq):
            super(FakeQuerySet, self).__init__(seq)
            self.ordered = True
            self.db = hasattr(seq, 'db') and seq.db or seq[0]._state.db

    users = FakeQuerySet(User.objects.raw('SELECT * FROM auth_user')) # Test with RawQuerySet
    #users = FakeQuerySet(list(User.objects.raw('SELECT * FROM auth_user'))) # Test with list

    UserFormset = modelformset_factory(User, extra=3)
    userforms = UserFormset(data=request.POST or None, queryset=users)
    ...

}}}
