Thanks Daniel for the hint. For the record, this was the final code
that worked:

# Get person to be edited
person = Person.objects.get(pk=id)
# Create form
if request.method == 'POST':
form = PersonForm(request.POST, instance=person)
if form.is_valid():
# Save form data if valid
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/profile/')
else:
form = PersonForm(instance=person)
# Display form (also show any form errors)
return render_to_response(
'profile_edit.html',
{
'username': request.user.username,
'profile_info': user_profile,
'form': form
},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
