Try using a lambda function. The problem is that the factory wants a callable that creates a form, not a form instance (ie it wants to be able to execute MyForm() for each form in the formset.
Formset = inlineformset_factory(ModelA, ModelB form=lambda: MyForm (readOnly=True)) Note I've not tried this.... and never actually used formsets either!
