Description

1.3 ModelForm documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/)

lists TextField as field type. TextField does not exist as a field type in 1.3 codebase at django/forms/forms.py

from django.forms import TextField

ImportError: cannot import name !TextFIeld
[This omission in the code may cause issues for some cases (e.g. if you have model CharField which you wish to render as a Textarea in your form, but also need to define e.g. alternative label - in this case class Meta: widgets... won't work)]

Not sure if the 1.3 documentation is ahead of time or out of date!

From my reading it does not refer to TextField as a form field, only as a model field (which will then get a !Textarea field in a modelform). So, closing as invalid.
