Django inline formset error

Question

I'm trying to add an inline formset to a form. Here's the minimal code for reproducing the error:

models.py

class Festival(Model):
    desc = TextField(max_length=1000)

class FestivalAddress(Model):
    festival = ForeignKey(Festival, related_name="addresses")
    name = CharField(max_length="50")

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url('^add/$', FestivalCreateView.as_view(), name='festival_add'), 
)

views.py

class FestivalCreateView(CreateView):
    model = Festival
    form_class = FestivalForm

    #Add FestivalAddressFormset to context here

forms.py

class FestivalAddressForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = FestivalAddress

class FestivalForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Festival

FestivalAddressFormSet = inlineformset_factory(FestivalForm, FestivalAddress, form=FestivalAddressForm, extra=2)

This throws AttributeError: 'ModelFormOptions' object has no attribute 'get_parent_list'. I'm a bit stumped, as I'm following the solution given here on SO.

Edit: I removed FestivalCreateView's usage of the formset because the error occurs with or without it.

This isn't enough information to solve the problem. FestivalCreateView doesn't even use your formset? You need to update your examples to show how the formset is utilised, and post a full stacktrace. — Greg, Jun 25 '12 at 23:38
Greg - FestivalCreateView was using the formset. I realized that the issue was unrelated to that usage, so I removed that code to make the code clearer. — knite, Jun 25 '12 at 23:51
Ok, then you should remove all references to the Formset since it's no longer being used in your code... — Greg, Jun 25 '12 at 23:55

It looks like my call to inlineformset_factory was incorrect. According to the docs, the first argument should be a model, not a form.

Should have been: FestivalAddressFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Festival, FestivalAddress, form=FestivalAddressForm, extra=2)
