django-passwords is not working

I am trying to use the django app - https://github.com/dstufft/django-passwords, to set up password strength checking for django passwords. Here are things i have done till now:

  1. Installed django-passwords with

    pip install django-passwords
  2. Added 'passwords' to INSTALLED_APPS

  3. Created a form:

    from passwords.fields import PasswordField
class ResetForm(forms.Form):
  password = PasswordField(label="New password")
  confirmPassword = PasswordField(label="Confirm new password")
  4. Added the form in my page

  5. In settings.py added the field

    PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 6

  6. Form shows up fine in the page. When i enter a password which is less than 6 characters, no error appears.

Is there a anything i am missing or anything i should do to get it to work ?

Any help will be really appreciated.

If your code is literarily as you typed in your comment, then the issue is with your code definition. From what you write, your view definition is:

def index(request):
    return render_to_response('templateName', {'form': ResetForm})

You never instantiate the form and you new add the POST-data to the form. Change it to:

def index(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ResetForm(data=request.POST)
    else:
        form = ResetForm()

    return render_to_response('templateName', {'form': form})

This should work :-).

Perhaps your better off using the render method for this includes a RequestContext object that handles the CSRF token.
