Custom django user registration form

I am learning Django and I am trying to make my own custom registration forms. I currently ran into this error:

Unknown field(s) (user) specified for User

Here is the traceback:

Traceback:

  292.                 raise FieldError(message)

Exception Type: FieldError at /accounts/register/
Exception Value: Unknown field(s) (user) specified for User

I think the problem resides within this piece of code:

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required = True)

    # hold anything that isnt a form field (meta data)
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('user', 'email', 'password1', 'password2')    

    def save(self, commit = True):
        # save(commit = T/F) means save or dont save yet
        # calls the super method of this class (UserCreationForm) and calling it's save method with input as false
        user = super(MyRegistrationForm, self).save(commit = False)
        # cleaned_data makes things save to put in data base
        user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']

        if commit:
            user.save()

        return user

I think you mean field "username". Model User haven't field "user". Right:

class Meta:
    model = User
    fields = ('username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2')
