Pretty much what Brian describes above. I would write a new method for your form like as_myp. I made this for myself. I took as_table method and made as_plain to remove the tr/th markups. Ex.

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    my_field1 = forms.CharField(...)
    my_field2 = forms.WhateverField(...)

    def as_myp(self):
        "Returns this form rendered as HTML 
s."
        return self._html_output(
            normal_row = '%(label)s
 
%(field)s%(help_text)s
',
            error_row = '%s',
            row_ender = '
',
            help_text_html = ' %s',
            errors_on_separate_row = True)

    def as_plain(self):
        "Returns this form rendered as HTML s -- excluding the ."
        return self._html_output(
            normal_row = '%(label)s%(errors)s%(field)s%(help_text)s',
            error_row = '%s',
            row_ender = ' ',
            help_text_html = '
%s',
            errors_on_separate_row = False)

It just seemed easier to do that than write a template file and handle form field rendering with errors, tags, visible/hidden, etc.
