def author_form(request, page):
    form = BookForm()
    if request.method == "POST":
        form =BookForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            # Form processing goes here.
            redirect = request.path + "?submitted=true"
            return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect)
    return {"form": form}

models.py

from django.db import models
from time import time
class Book(models.Model):
   book_name= models.CharField(max_length=200, unique = True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.book_name

views.py

def create_book (request):
    if request.POST:
        form = BookForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/all/')
    else:
        form = BookForm()
    args= {}
    args.update(csrf(request))
    args['form'] = form
    return render_to_response('create_Book.html', args)

urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^/xyz/$', create_book))

create_Book.html

<form action="/xyz/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_ul}}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="create"/>
</form>

This is what i am doing but still i am unable to access form. Where i am doing wrong. will be grateful to you. Please mark that what's wrong in code?

Answer 1

Two Syntax Problems:

1) Always define your processor name in " " like @processor_for("Author")

2) urls for page processors like :

 url("^xyz/$", "mezzanine.pages.views.page", {"slug": "Author"},  name="Author"),

Answer 2

as per you code and your explanation in question .please see your code in urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^xyz/$', create_book))       # you should write like ^xyz/$

Please follow django doc
