formtools not supported the Django 1.10 version please downgrade your Django release for the workaround.

I solved it by some changes in lib/python3.5/site-packages/formtools/preview.py file. Here I first changes render_to_response to render and then removed context_instance=RequestContext(request) from argument. Suppose post_post method now look like:

 def post_post(self, request):
        """
        Validates the POST data. If valid, calls done(). Else, redisplays form.
        """
        form = self.form(request.POST, auto_id=self.get_auto_id())
        if form.is_valid():
            if not self._check_security_hash(
                    request.POST.get(self.unused_name('hash'), ''),
                    request, form):
                return self.failed_hash(request)  # Security hash failed.
            return self.done(request, form.cleaned_data)
        else:
            return render(request, self.form_template,
                self.get_context(request, form))

It looks like it was already fixed in their repository:
