def register_Page(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form= UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
username= request.POST['username']
password= request.POST['password1']
user= authenticate(request,username=username,password=password)

return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
return HttpResponse('Either the user name is not available or you may have filled the form incorrectly')
