You have two 'home' functions in views.py.
You have an indent on the first line of the urls.py (could be the paste)
You did not provide the forms.py

You also have two different URL's named 'home', which will lead to a bad time. Make sure that those are unique.

From what I can tell, none of your views render/reference 'signup.html', so I would never expect that template to be rendered.

Configure a fields attribute on your form to get rid of the deprecation warning. This will be required moving forward through future version of Django: 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/forms/modelforms/#selecting-the-fields-to-use

When you say 'My templates just wouldn't load or show', what exactly is shown in the browser window and/or runserver console?

My suggestion would be to install the django-debug-toolbar, as you can use it to investigate the templates being used by your view and where Django is looking to find those templates.

i have changed the views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response, RequestContext

# from .forms import SignUpForm

# Create your views here.
from django.template import Context, Template


def home(request):

    # form = SignUpForm(request.POST or None)

    # if form.is_valid():
    #     save_it = form.save(commit=False)
    #     save_it.save()

    return render_to_response("base.html",
                              locals(),
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

def homeonce(request):

    context = {}
    template = "base.html"
    return render(request, template, context)

The indentation is a result of pasting..

forms.py(i have commented it for the moment, but still no luck.)

# from django import forms
#
# from .models import SignUp
#
#
# class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm):
#     class Meta:
#         model = SignUp

...

[sourav mohanty]

i have revised the views.py :

from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response, RequestContext

# from .forms import SignUpForm

# Create your views here.
from django.template import Context, Template


def home(request):

    # form = SignUpForm(request.POST or None)

    # if form.is_valid():
    #     save_it = form.save(commit=False)

    #     save_it.save()

    return render_to_response("base.html",
                              locals(),
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

def homeonce(request):

    context = {}
    template = "base.html"
    return render(request, template, context)

from  'My templates just wouldn't load or show' , i mean that my base.html loads perfectly but signup.html doesn't show up.

OK the view.py functions are the way Django responds to a browser request.
IOW the browser asks for a page to display and Django checks the URL (in the urls.py).  In the urls.py you have  to have an entry something like
url(r'signup/$', 'signup.views.home', name ='signup') and then Django excutes the function (in this case signup.views.home).

Where signup is a Django app created when you used 'startapp'.  In the signup directory (assuming that's where you placing everything - doesn't have to be) there should be a views.py.
In views.py there should be a function 'home'  and in there you should render the response - just like you did for the other home.

Beyond that - please read and follow the Django tutorial - pay close attention to the way the layout of the code is done.
