request.post.get() is empty -- Django

On my website, the user can type into this form and hit submit:

<form action="{% url "reikna" pk=doc.id %}" method="post">
        {% csrf_token %}
        calc_date <input type="text" id="calc_date" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Parts of the view function reikna():

def reikna(request):
    calc_date = request.POST.get("calc_date", False)
    f = open('calc_log.txt', 'w')
    f.write(str(calc_date)+'\n')

The calc_log.txt file always contains False, even though I type something into the form. What am I doing incorrectly? As I understand it, the id attribute should be the identifier for the request.post.get() function.

calc_date <input type="text" id="calc_date" /> should be calc_date <input type="text" name="calc_date" />
