Given that the input has been validated correctly and does not throw
an error you can access the value with
form.cleaned_data.username
If you want to pass a variable to a template, try
# view.py or whereever your code lives
return render_to_response('template.html' { 'templatevar': 'the
content of the var' })
# template.html
{{ templatevar }}
