django 'str' object has no attribute 'get' error ,for forms.py

I just create a forms for user register The code is here

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model



def lowercase_email(email):
        """
        Normalize the address by lowercasing the domain part of the email
        address.
        """
        email = email or ''
        try:
            email_name, domain_part = email.strip().rsplit('@', 1)
        except ValueError:
            pass
        else:
            email = '@'.join([email_name.lower(), domain_part.lower()])
        return email

class SignupForm (forms.ModelForm):

    username =forms.CharField( 
        label='username',required=True,max_length=20,min_length=3)
    email = forms.EmailField( 
        label='email',required=True)
    password =forms.CharField( 
        label='pssword',required=True,max_length=20,min_length=6,widget = forms.PasswordInput)
    confirm_password= forms.CharField(
        label='confirm_email',required=True,max_length=20,min_length=6,widget = forms.PasswordInput)

    class Meta:
        model = get_user_model()
        fields = ("username","email","password","confirm_password",)




    def clean(self):

        password = self.cleaned_data["password"]
        confirm_password = self.cleaned_data["confirm_password"]
        if password and password != confirm_password:
            raise forms.ValidationError("password not same")
        return password

and the views.py

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, redirect,render
from django.conf import settings
from django.http import HttpResponse,HttpResponseRedirect,Http404
from django.template import RequestContext
from sns.accounts.forms import SignupForm
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

def signup(request):
    if request.method=='POST':
        form=SignupForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            UserModel=get_user_model()
            username = form.cleaned_data['username']
            email = form.cleaned_data['email']
            password = form.cleaned_data['password']
            user=UserModel.objects.create_user(username=username,email=email,password=password)

            return redirect('/')

    else:
        form=SignupForm(auto_id=True)
    return render_to_response('signup.html',{'form':form},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Once I test it , it shows error

'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Then I remove the method clean from the forms.py , then everything works well

I do not know where is the problem .As I have just written the same code from others for the clean method.

change clean(self) to clean_confirm_password(self)

or

return cleaned_data for def clean(self) since clean def expects a dictionary and you are providing a string in form of password variable.

It looks like you're missing the call to super's clean() at the start of your clean().

cleaned_data = super(SignupForm, self).clean()

The error message seems to indicate that cleaned_data is a string and not a dictionary; it might help to print cleaned_data to see what it is.
