Indentation is important in Python. It should be:

Python

from django.shortcuts import render
# create your views.

def Register(request):
	if request.method == 'POST':
    else:
        return render(request,"Register.html")

Removing all the redundant blank lines makes it clearer. But a better option would be to change the if test, and remove the else.

Python

from django.shortcuts import render
# create your views.

def Register(request):
	if request.method != 'POST':
        return render(request,"Register.html")
