form.is_valid() returns false (django)

Question

I am a bit new to django. Im trying to send a file over to another server once it is chosen in upload, but is form.is_valid() always return false would not let me enter if

views.py-

def sent(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SendFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        print "form is made"
        print form.errors
        if form.is_valid():
            print "form is valid"
            new_song = Song(songfile= request.FILES['songfile'])
            new_song.save()
            print "new song is made and saved"
            l = List()
            #cd = form.cleaned_data                                                                                                                   
            #SENDS THE FILE TO SERVER GIVEN PATH
            l.all_files(new_song.songfile.path)
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('get_files.views.sent'))
        else:
            print "form is not valid"
    else:
        form = SendFileForm()

    songs = Song.objects.all()
    return render_to_response('sent.html', {'songs': songs,'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

sent.html template-

{% if form.errors %}
    <p style="color: red;">
        Please correct the error{{ form.errors|pluralize }} below.
    </p>
{% endif %}

<form action={% url "sent" %} method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  {% csrf_token %}
    <p>{{ form.non_field_errors }}</p>
        <p>{{ form.songfile.label_tag }} {{ form.songfile.help_text }}</p>
        <p>
            <!--{{ form.songfile.errors }}-->
            {{ form.songfile }}
        </p>
        <p><input type="submit" value="Upload" /></p>
</form>

forms.py-

class SendFileForm(forms.Form):
    path = forms.CharField()
    songfile = forms.FileField(label='Select a music file',help_text='max. 4 megabytes')

I have searched up many forums and not able to solve the problem. Thank you in advance!

You can print form errors in your views directly.

class YourFormView(generic.edit.CreateView):

  def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    form = YourForm(request.POST)
    for field in form:
        print("Field Error:", field.name,  field.errors)
