Django 1.6 - edit profile - AttributeError at /editseekerprofile/

Question

I'm trying to create edit user profile functionality. But I get the following error

Traceback:
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response
  114.                     response = wrapped_callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
File "/views.py" in update_profile
  60.             form.save()
File "/forms.py" in save
  108.         user = super(UserUpdateForm, self).save(commit=False)

Exception Type: AttributeError at /editseekerprofile/
Exception Value: 'super' object has no attribute 'save'

Here is my views.py

def update_profile(request):
    args = {}

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return render(request,'meddy1/seekerprofile.html',{'doctorSeeker': profile})


    else:
        form = UserUpdateForm()

    args['form'] = form
    return render(request, 'meddy1/editseekerprofile.html', args)

Here is my forms.py

class UserUpdateForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=200, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'FirstName LastName'}))
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Please enter a valid email address so we can reach you. No spam. Ever.'}))

    password1 = forms.CharField(label="Old Password",widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Enter your password to save the changes.'}),required=False)
    password2 = forms.CharField(label="New Password?",widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Only enter new password if you want to change it.'}),required=False)
    password3 = forms.CharField(label="Confirm New Password",widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Confirm New Password'}),required=False)



    class Meta:
        model = DoctorSeeker
        fields = ("name","email")

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("password2", "password3")

    def clean_password2(self):
        password2 = self.cleaned_data.get("password2")
        password3 = self.cleaned_data.get("password3")
        if password2 and password3 and password2 != password3:
            raise forms.ValidationError(
                self.error_messages['password_mismatch'],
                code='password_mismatch',
            )
        return password2

    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(UserUpdateForm, self).save(commit=False)
        user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password2"])
        fullName = self.cleaned_data["name"]
        Email = self.cleaned_data["email"]


        if commit:
            user.save()
            userProfile = DoctorSeeker(user=user, name=fullName, email=Email)
            userProfile.save()

        return user

Just to clarify, I'm saving user information in two different models, one is the default user model and the other one is DoctorSeeker.

forms.Form has no method called save, thats why you can't override it. forms.ModelForm has the save method which you can override.
