Django/Python POST

Question

First a bit of an introduction. I will send a POST to a url and it will have either ip, mac or hostname. Now depending on which of these key' are in the QueryDict i want it to do certain calls. I.e:

Output of

print request.POST

<QueryDict: {u'ip': [u'10.1.24.178'], u'message': [u'Test'], u'client': [u'auabrthin1']}>

I want to write something like this:

if request.POST['client'] in request.POST:
    do_something()

however request.POST['client'] obviously is the value of client how can I check if a request.POST has a key?

Yeah, just saw it in [Django docu][docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/…, Thanks anyway @ThiefMaster

Yep... the request.POST is just a standard dict.

@jro: request.POST behaves in many cases like a standard dict, but is in fact a QueryDict. It can, for example, have multiple values for the same key.

@lazerscience: indeed, which is what I meant, but I see now that I worded it incorrectly.
