Answer 1

Wherever you try to submit a form data to your Django code, then the Django will createan object to entire form data. The object is look like this form_obj = request.method_name. Here method_name is the form method that is (POST or GET) ex:- form_obj = request.POST

If you want to get the form data then use a function request.method_name.get(name) here name is form attribute assign value

ex:-

{% csrf_token %}
{form}

in view :-

import statements as you required
def your_function(request):
  # you can creat a object to the form by
  form_obj = myform()
  if request.method =="POST":
    form_obj = myform(request.POST)
    if form_obj.is_valid():

      # you can directly save by use commit()
      form_obj.save(commit=True)
       #   or
      form_obj1 = form_obj.save(commit=False)
      #which  do you want to save in database ,those fields you need to specify like below 
      form_obj1.attribute1 = form_obj.cleaned_data["name of form field"]
        '
        '
      form_obj1.save()

and in Myform.py file

import statments    
class myform(forms.ModelForm):
    class meta():
        model = your_models_name
        fields =("attribute1","attribute2".....) # included attribute of your_model
