            form = ProductModelForm(request.POST)
            if form.is_valid():
                instance = form.save()
                product = instance.save()
                print product
                return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("DataEntry"))
            else:

Calling form.save() returns the instance. In your case, you are not using form.save(commit=False), so there is no need to save the instance.

Unlike form.save(), instance.save() returns None, so you are currently assigning None to product.

You can simplify the code to:

        if form.is_valid():
            product = form.save()
            print product
