base64 user ID object error for email activation

Looking at your form_valid function:

The ModelForm.save method returns the object being saved.

Therefore, changing that line to new_user = form.save() gives you the new user that you just created.

That means you don’t need the user_email line, because you have access to that field as user_email = new_user.email

That means your context for your render_to_string call can look like this:

{
    'user': new_user,
    'domain': current_site.domain,
    'uid': urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(new_user.pk)),
    'token': account_activation_token.make_token(new_user),
}
