Django inbuilt functions not working

Question

I am trying to make a user login page in Django following the book "How to Tango with Django" (for the most part). My form appears on the template as it should but upon submission I get the following errors:

'function' object has no attribute 'save'

'function' object has no attribute 'set_password'

The relevant part of my view function is as follows:

   if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
        user = user_form.save
        user.set_password(user.password)
        user.save()
        profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
        profile.user = user

My model is:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pictures', 
    blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user.username

You're not calling it as a function. You're using user = user_form.save but you want user = user_form.save() and if you don't want to commit it, user = user_form.save(commit=False)
