Django url parsing error

OK, I have two different views, both in the project site-wide area.

urls.py

url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'taxo.views.login'),
url(r'^accounts/invalid/$', 'taxo.views.invalid'),
...

taxo/views.py

def login(request):
    c = {}
    c.update(csrf(request))
    return render_to_response('login.html', c)
def invalid(request):
    return render_to_response('invalid.html',{'title':'invalid'})

templates/login.html

<form action="/accounts/auth/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
   <label for="username">User name</label>
   <input type="text" name="username" value="" id="username">
   <label for="password">Password</label>
   <input type="password" name="password" value="" id="password">
   <input type="submit" value="login" />
</form>

templates/invalid.html

<form style="float: right" action="accounts/login/" method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{form}}
  <input type="submit" value="Login" class="search"/>
</form>

With the above code, I got Page not Found error

Page not found (404)
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/invalid/accounts/login/

Django parses the requested url as relative to the url of the current page. When I replaced the action with the {% url %} tag. I got a NoReverseMatch at /accounts/invalid/ error

How do I do this correctly?

And here's the reason:

Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/invalid/accounts/login/

$ at the end of regex means nothing's after slash:

url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'taxo.views.login', name='login'),
url(r'^accounts/invalid/$', 'taxo.views.invalid', name='invalid'),

therefore you may use those urls:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/login/
http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/invalid/

edit: why one of your URLs in template redirects begins with slash and one without? Try this one:

<form style="float: right" action="{% url 'login' %}" method="post">

Try this:

<form style="float: right" action="/accounts/login/" method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{form}}
  <input type="submit" value="Login" class="search"/>
</form>
