If you followed the standard pattern for a form-handling view:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view
which returns the form annotated with errors for rendering in the template
in the case where is_valid() returns False, you would likely have a better
idea of what the "some reason" is for the validation failing. The submitted
form would be re-displayed with error annotation along with the provided
input that would hopefully explain what is wrong with the provided data. Or
at least give a hint of where the problem lies. The code you have here
returns no form at all in the error case? And then prints the form
errors....except the print after the return is never going to execute.
