In Django Extending User Form for Custom User

I extended my User Model as described in this SO Posting: Extending the User model with custom fields in Django

However, I'm trying to create a User Create form but I get the following:

'Members' object has no attribute 'set_password'

Here is my model form:

class Members(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

GENDER_CHOICES = ( ... )
gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
date_of_birth     = models.DateField()
class Meta:
    db_table='members'

def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        Members.objects.create(user=instance)

post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

....and my form....

class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
    GENDER_CHOICES = ( ... )
    email = forms.EmailField(label='Email address', max_length=75)
    first_name   = forms.CharField(label='First Name')
    last_name    = forms.CharField(label='Last Name')
    gender  = forms.ChoiceField(widget=RadioSelect, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
    date_of_birth = forms.DateField(initial=datetime.date.today)

    class Meta:
        model = Members
        fields = ('username', 'email','first_name', 'last_name')

I'm new at Django,so thanks in advance

The method you chose to extend your User model is by creating a UserProfile (which you've called Member). A Member is not a subclass of User, so you can't call User methods (like set_password) on it.

Instead, your SignUpForm's Meta model should still be User, and to get the extended UserProfile, you should call user.get_profile(). For instance, to get a user's gender, you would call user.get_profile().gender.

Read https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users for more information about extending the user profile.
