The problem most probably is that the version of django-registration you
have installed via easy_install is not the latest version available - and
hence is probably doing an import like "from django import newforms as
forms" (or something like that) in forms.py. "newforms" was renamed to
"forms" at some point before the 1.0 release and so python is unable to
import "newforms". The latest version(in trunk) seems to have fixed this[1].
Uninstall the version you have installed via easy_install and grab the
latest tar from the official site -
http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/.
