'str' object is not callable /django/contrib/auth/views.py in password_reset, line 185

I am trying to customize the PasswordResetForm form of django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset. I copied the code from Django's website or the one GitHub, and put it in my forms.py. I changed the code from:

forms.py

email = forms.EmailField(label=_("Email"), max_length=254)

to

email = forms.EmailField(label=_("Email"), max_length=254, widget=forms.EmailInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'E-mail'}))

and kept the remaining PasswordResetForm code intact.

url.py

url(r'^password/reset/$','django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset', {'post_reset_redirect': '/password/reset/done/', 'password_reset_form': 'forms.PasswordResetForm',}, name="password_reset"),

However I am getting the following error:

Exception Location: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Django-1.8.3-py2.7.egg/django/contrib/auth/views.py in password_reset, line 185

185. form = password_reset_form()

I had it working without this customisation. I need the customisation because I want a PlaceHolder in the field. If I remove the key in the url it works.

The value for password_reset_form should be the actual form class, not a string path to the form. For example, if you import the form with

from forms import PasswordResetForm

Then you would do:

url(r'^password/reset/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset', {'post_reset_redirect': '/password/reset/done/', 'password_reset_form': PasswordResetForm}, name="password_reset"),

As an aside, using the string view like django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset is deprecated in Django 1.8, and will stop working in Django 1.10. Instead, you can import the auth views,

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

and change the url pattern to

url(r'^password/reset/$', auth_views.password_reset, {'post_reset_redirect': '/password/reset/done/', 'password_reset_form': PasswordResetForm}, name="password_reset"),
