Creating a user profile form in Django 1.2

Question

Hi,

I'm trying create a basic form which will allow the user to update their firstname, lastname and email as part of the User model. I've tried the following code:

from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class BasicAccountForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')

It's throwing the following error:

Caught AttributeError while rendering: 'User' object has no attribute 'get'

Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or if there is a better way to do what I am trying to accomplish?
