'super' object has no attribute 'save' Django

Question

I am making a registration form for users to signup using Django 1.8 and python 3.5

I have created a User(Extending User Model Using a Custom Model Extending AbstractUser)(ie I wanted to add custom fields to the default django's Users table like bio, date of birth etc)

When I try to enter username and password I get an error TypeError at /signup/

This is my mainpage/models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class User(AbstractUser):
    bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    location = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    birth_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)

This is my signup/forms.py

from django import forms
from mainpage.models import User
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class allusers1(forms.Form):
    username1=forms.CharField(label = "Username")
    password1=forms.CharField(label="passwordwa",max_length=40)
    class Meta:
        model=User
        fields=(
            'username',

            'password',

        )
    def save(self,commit=True):
        user=super(allusers1,self).save(commit=False)
        user.username=self.cleaned_data['username1']
        user.password=self.cleaned_data['password1']
        if commit:
            user.save()

        return user

this is signup/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import allusers1
def signup(request):       
    form1=allusers1(request.POST or None)
    if form1.is_valid():
        form1.save()
    context = {
   "form1": form1,
         }
    return render(request, "signup.html",context)

SOME ADDITIONAL INFO I am refering to this blog for creating AbstractUser https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/07/22/how-to-extend-django-user-model.html#abstractuser

Answer 1

In signup/forms.py

Change:

user=super(User,self).save(commit=False)

To

user = super(allusers1, self).save(commit=False)

And read some articles on coding style. Like PEP-8 and Django style . It helps others (and your future self) to read and understand your code.
