Description
When you try to access a nonexistent key on a Form, it raises this exception:
raise KeyError('Key %r not found in Form' % name)
This is vague in situations where you have multiple forms. You have to do a more digging to find out which form it is. It should be:
raise KeyError("Key %r not found in '%s'" % (name, self.__class__.__name__))
