Here is the problem. As of now, `form` is an unbound form (see docs
[1]). You need to do something like:
form = BuySellForm(request.POST)
This will trigger all the validation functions, including
clean_shares. You should rewrite your `buysell` view to be something
along the lines of:
def buysell(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = BuySellForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
#do something...
else:
#return an error
else:
form = BuySellForm()
return render_to_response('buysellform.html', {'form': form})
Also, unless you haven't posted all the code from BuySellForm's
definition, clean_shares will throw an error because there is no field
called `data` defined in the form.
