The definition of the form class was incorrect, which probably caused this error:
from django import forms
# Inherit from `forms.Form`, not from `forms`:
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField()
password = forms.CharField()
There are several issues with the view function as well:
def contact(request):
if request.method == "POST":
contact_form = ContactForm(request.POST)
# Not `contact_form is valid()`:
if contact_form.is_valid():
success = True
# `cleaned_data` is all lowercase:
username = contact_form.cleaned_data['username']
password = contact_form.cleaned_data['password']
else:
contact_form = ContactForm()
# You always want to return a response. Putting the return statement
# here will fix the error mentioned in the question title. The
# second argument makes `contact_form` available from the template:
return render_to_response('contact.html', {
'contact_form': contact_form
})
