Python Django Forms Model Forms Save a Model Form

When saving the Django form, how can I best use the return HttpResponseRequest statement?

The statement is return HttpResponseRedirect('product:create'). Is there a better way to resolve this issue?

I think you are missing a reverse call so 

    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('products:create'))

Also not that it makes a difference, but I also used double quotes, as it matched the instructions (it should not matter)

Try checking all import statements. My main problem is that HTTP is title-cased to Http in HttpResponseRedirect
