The view didn't return an HttpResponse object

I was following a tutorial trying to create a registration form. Even though the person recording it was able to create a form I wasn't does anybody see any mistakes in my code? The view didn't return an HttpResponse object.

from django.template import RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.contrib import auth
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

def registerit(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/register_success')
        args = {'form3':UserCreationForm()}
        args.update(csrf(request))
        return render_to_response('register.html', args)

Thank you for your help.

You are returning a HttpResponse object only if if request.method == 'POST':

But if the request method is __not POST, you are not returning anything. You probably need to indent the code one level to the left. 

def registerit(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/register_success')
    args = {'form3':UserCreationForm()}
    args.update(csrf(request))
    return render_to_response('register.html', args)
