There are two problems, but the main one is in the first line of your
view. request.method == 'Post' will *never* be true, because the
method (as in shown in your template) is all upper case.
request.method == 'POST' should work.

Secondly, don't redirect to /error/. Drop that else clause altogether,
and let the view fall through to the final render_to_response. This
will redisplay the form with any errors.
