Changing a user's password in Django?

Question

Django

I am making a personal account where the user can change the password. To do this, he must first enter the old password, and I need to check that it is correct. How to encrypt the password entered by the user so that it matches the one in the database during verification?

def a_change_password(request):
    u = User.objects.get(username=request.user)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ChangePasswordForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            old_password = request.POST.get("old_password")
            new_pass = request.POST.get("new_password")
            new_pass_rep = request.POST.get("new_password_repeat")
            if check_password(old_password,u.password):
                return HttpResponse('ok')
            else:
                return HttpResponse('bad')
    else:
            form = ChangePasswordForm()

    return render(request, 'login/change_password.html',
              {'form': form, 'user': u})
