django ModelForm for subclassed models : Error for one, but not for another ('NoneType' object has no attribute 'label')

I'd like to ask for you guidance in the following matter in django:

I am using the following models:

class QItem(models.Model):
    isWhat = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True,  choices=ISWHAT)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True)
    script = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    comment = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    author = models.ForeignKey(User)

class QuestionSet(QItem):
    items = models.ManyToManyField(QItem, blank=True, through='Ordering',related_name="contained")


class Question(QItem):
    answerObject = models.OneToOneField("AnswerObject", blank=True, null=True)

and their respective, most basic ModelForms:

class QuestionForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Question

class QuestionSetForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
       model = QuestionSet  

In a view, calling

           qset=QuestionFormSet()
           print q 

works just fine.

However,

           q = QuestionForm()
           print q

throws

Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value:    'NoneType' object has no attribute 'label'

in Django's server. When trying it in the console, I don't get any errors. Edit : Also, modelform_factory(Question) works.

Any ideas why this is the case? Why do similar models behave so differently, and how could I get rid of the error?

Edit : This is the full Traceback:

Did you have something like fields = ("name") in the Meta of your Modelform ? The above statement is treated as an expression and not as a tuple. So the code is looking to validate field 'n','a','m','e' in the example above, as opposed to "name".

Please use a trailing comma to force python to interpret the Meta field above as a tuple fields = ("name",) ... your code should work fine after this change.
