Description (last modified by Kamil Bar)

Hey,

I want to report that this doc section is wrong comparing to 1.6 code itself,
​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.errors

You're stating that using form.error gives dict back, but it's not true, in django.forms.util.ErrorDict there is:

def __str__(self):
        return self.as_ul()

So it's actually returning HTML ul formatted string instead of dict stated in docs.
