save a model form

Can't seem to make this work, any help is appreciated thanks :)

from . import forms


def product_form(request):
    form = forms.DigitalProductForm()
    if request.method == "POST":
      form = forms.DigitalProductForm(request.POST)
      if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('products:create')
    return render(request, 'products/product_form.html', {'form': form})

products/views.py:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render

from . import forms


def product_form(request):
    form = forms.DigitalProductForm()
    if request.method == "POST":
      form = forms.DigitalProductForm(request.POST)
      if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('products:create')
    return render(request, 'products/product_form.html', {'form': form})
