AttributeError at /accounts/login/ 'dict' object has no attribute 'status_code'

Question

I got an error, AttributeError at /accounts/login/ 'dict' object has no attribute 'status_code'. My web site's page has q login & new account registration in a page. I wrote in views.py

def login(request):
    login_form = LoginForm(request.POST)
    regist_form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
    if regist_form.is_valid():
        user = regist_form.save(commit=False)
        context = {
            'user': request.user,
            'login_form': login_form,
            'regist_form': regist_form,
        }

        return context

    if login_form.is_valid():
        user = login_form.save(commit=False)
        login(request, user)
        context = {
            'user': request.user,
            'login_form': login_form,
            'regist_form': regist_form,
        }
        return context

    context = {
        'login_form': login_form,
        'regist_form': regist_form,
    }
    return render(request, 'registration/accounts/login.html', context)

in login.html (I cannot user code format,so I decide to use code snippet)

<header class="clearfix">
          <h1 class="title">WEB SITE</h1>

Traceback says

I really cannot understand why this error happens. How should I fix this?

As Selcuk says returning the context is your issue. See Working with forms for a snippet to follow. — AMG

Django views must return HttpResponse instances. You are returning a dict here:

return context
