heya,
I was previously using the following to render a form:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, RequestContext
...
def upload_file(request):
...
return render_to_response('upload_form.html', {'form': form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
I can confirm that this works fine, form was rendered perfectly fine.
However, I read that render() is now the bee-knees...lol
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5154358/django-what-is-the-difference-between-render-render-to-response-and-direct),
so I thought I'd switch to that:
from django.shortcuts import render
...
def upload_file(request):
...
return render('upload_form.html', {'form': form})
However, when I try to do that, I get an error:

Any idea from the above why this might be happening?
Thanks,
