Shall I use (and why?):
if request.POST
or:
if request.method == 'POST'
Is there any differences except syntax?

When a page is requested, Django creates an HttpRequest object that contains metadata about the request. Then Django loads the appropriate view, passing the HttpRequest as the first argument to the view function. Each view is responsible for returning an HttpResponse object.
Django's login form is returned using the POST method, in which the browser bundles up the form data, encodes it for transmission, sends it to the server, and then receives back its response. GET , by contrast, bundles the submitted data into a string, and uses this to compose a URL.
To send a POST request using the Python Requests Library, you should call the requests. post() method and pass the target URL as the first parameter and the POST data with the data= parameter.
If you want to check the request method, use if request.method == 'POST'.
request.POST is the post param dict, and you shouldn't count on its existence or lack thereof when it comes to the request method. (e.g. a post request with no params fails on that test.)
