How do I get the primary key after saving a ModelForm? After the form has been validated and saved, I would like to redirect the user to the contact_details view which requires the primary key of the contact. 

def contact_create(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(contact_details, args=(form.pk,)))
    else:
        form = ContactForm()

The ModelForm's save method returns the saved object.

Try this:

def contact_create(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            new_contact = form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(contact_details, args=(new_contact.pk,)))
    else:
        form = ContactForm()
