Okay! That did solved the problem. Thank you! Here's my new view.py:

def register_page(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = User.objects.create_user(
                username=form.cleaned_data['username'],
                email=form.cleaned_data['email'],
                password=form.cleaned_data['password1']
                )
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/register/success/')
       
    else:
        form = RegistrationForm()
    variables = RequestContext(request,{
            'form':form
            })
    return render_to_response('registration/register.html',variables)

I am just a noob with these things. I understood why the first instance didn't worked, but can u please explain to me about the indentation part (variables and return)? I am little bit puzzled in here. And don't the second 'if' require an else?
Thanks again!

Well, presumably you understand that in Python, indentation defines blocks for things like if and for. If there's no else clause for an if, Python will resume execution at the next line that is indented at the same level as the beginning of the if statement. In this case, there isn't one, because the surrounding block - ie the first if statement - is complete. So, it's going to skip over the else clause belonging to the outer if, and carry on at the first line at that level - which now is the one starting with `variables`.

The upshot of all this is that if the form is not valid, it will skip right down to the bottom and execute those last two lines, which render the template with the invalid form, and return it.
