at django login my request.POST.get data are all empty, I struggle with what I missed there

This is my login view:

def login_view(request,template_name='userauth/login.html'):

    if request.method == 'POST':

        username = request.POST.get('username')

        password = request.POST.get('password')

        print username

        print password

        user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)

        if user is not None:

            if user.is_active:

                login(request, user)

                next_page = reverse('public:courselist')

            else:

                next_page = reverse('userauth:login')

                messages.error(request, "Ihr Account wurde deaktiviert. Bitte nehmen Sie Kontakt zu uns auf, wenn Sie Ihnen wieder aktivieren wollen.")

        else:

            next_page = reverse('userauth:login')

            messages.error(request, u'Ung\u00FCltiges Login')

    else:

        dictionary = {'form': form }

        return render_to_response('userauth/login.html', dictionary,  context_instance=RequestContext(request))

    return HttpResponseRedirect(next_page)

And this is my form:

from django import forms

class LoginForm(forms.Form):

    username = forms.CharField(

        max_length=100,

        widget=forms.TextInput,

        required=False,

        label="",

    )

    password = forms.CharField(

        max_length=100,

        widget=forms.TextInput,

        required=False,

        label="",

    )

I think I need to tell Django somehow about the form, but I do need really know where? Can someone please help me with figuring this out? When I print out the username and password they are both None. 

  Thanks in advance
