Your if block in views.py is not well-formed. I haven't tested this but I'd
write it more like this:
# try username
user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
auth.login(request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
# fall-through to email
user = auth.authenticate(email=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
auth.login(request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
# ok, neither one worked
return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/invalid_login')
