Hello World!

I got this error from when I submit a post method, and here is my post code.  
I can not have an exact traceback to know the error well,  
any help please

def post(self, request, \*args, \*\*kwargs):  
form = self.form\_class(request.POST)  
context = {  
‘form’: form,  
}  
if form.is\_valid():  
print(‘yeeeeeeees’)  
clt = form.save(commit=False)  
clt.creator = request.user  
clt.number = autoNumInvoice()  
clt.save()  
return render(‘clients:home’)  
else:  
return form.errors  
return render(request, self.template\_name, context=context)

A view must return an HTTP response, not the errors dict from your form.

Also, when posting code, please enclose the code between lines consisting of only three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have one line of ```, followed by your lines of code, followed by another line of ```. This allows your code to maintain its formatting, which is extremely important when working with Python!
