[Django]-Django creating object from POST

5👍

you should be using forms[1] and model-forms [2] to collect such data from the request.

Why would you ever do it like that anyway?

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
and then handle it like that:
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
    username = form.cleaned_data['username']
    password = form.cleaned_data['password1']
    email = form.cleaned_data['email']
    newuser = User.objects.create_user(username, email, password)
    user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
    login (request, user)
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/some/page/which/is/not/logginpage')#cause user is already logged in

Probably not the most elegenat way, but it should describe well enough, how to use form and then authenticate someone & log him in.
