TypeError: UserCreateForm() 得到了一个意外的关键字参数“初始”

Question

I am new to django and I am developing a social media site following the course and I am facing this weird error when I try to open signup page from the site, which after a lot of search and experiments wasn't able to get away with.Thus, I came here so if anyone could help me.

My forms.py file where i think the actual culprit is

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

def UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):

  class Meta:
      fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']
      model = get_user_model()

  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
      super(UserCreationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
      self.fields['username'].label = 'Username'
      self.fields['email'].label = 'Email Address'

views.py file

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import CreateView
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from . import forms


# Create your views here.
class SignUpView(CreateView):
    form_class = forms.UserCreateForm
    success_url = reverse_lazy('login')
    template_name = 'accounts/signup.html'

urls.py file in the application directory ie accounts/urls.py

from django.urls import re_path
from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView, LogoutView
from . import views

#code here
urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r'^login/$', LoginView.as_view(template_name='signin.html'), name='login'),
    re_path(r'^logout/$', LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
    re_path(r'^signup/$', views.SignUpView.as_view(), name='signup'),
]

full log of error I am facing

I ran into the same problem as this, and for the same reason: You declared your form improperly.

This:

def UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):

Should be this:

class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
