Hi, I am using django strictly as a backend for data processing. As such I am not using any forms or templates, just database tables as models. The page is js driven and POSTing data is causing me some issues.
A user action triggers a POST that looks like: action "update" data { "field1": 8,"id": 2 } (copied from firebug) When I try to parse the POST data I get errors on every type of method I have tried. What I eventually would like to do is something like: if request.POST.__getitem__('xaction') == 'update': mydata = request.POST.__getitem__('data') model_to_update = modelname.get(id=mydata['id'] for k,v in mydata: setattr(model_to_update, k, v) model_to_update.save() However every time I try to parse the "data" POST values I get errors. I wonder if I am missing some assumptions by not importing/using forms, or if there is a standard method to iterate through the POST data that I am missing. I have literally tried every \*get\* dict method from the docs and all throw errors (.list() throws numeric indicies errors, iteritems() throws not iterable, etc.) Any thoughts?
