Kinda pointing out the obvious, but the views ARE, after all, just
Python functions.
USUALLY you want to redirect after processing a form, for example, but
maybe in your case you don't?
Note that there are some caveats to doing this (like, what happens if
a user hits [Reload] on the second page, which will still have the
"original" URL), but in your case you might be able to skip all the
reverse-lookups and url evaluation, and simply:
def my_first_view(request):
# Processing here
# Don't send a response from here, just pass control to
my_second_view's implementation
return my_second_view(request, parmsInADict)
def my_second_view(request, parmsFromFirstView=None):
# also look in the parmsFromFirstView dict, not just request.POST...
return render_to_response('results.html', ...)
If you MUST redirect in your situation, well nevermind, see the other
responses.
