Right now the "reportForm" variable is pointing to the RequestForm class,
not to an object, so you need to do it like this
reportForm = ReportForm() # Take note of the parenthesis
In your template, your form tag need an action attribute (well, it's not
mandatory but it is highly advised). In this case if you want the same view
to process your form you just need to use ".".
<form method="post" action="." ... >
With those changes you should be able to render the form as usual:
{{ form.as_p }}
Also I'm not sure what do you mean when you say thet nothing is happening
when you pres the Submit button. As you have it right now it just calls the
same view ("report") that you wrote. Since the view does not have different
rules for GET and POST requests it just renders the same page again.
