I'm using python to develop a web app.
I defined both "get" and "post" method in the same request handler to serve different purpose. That is, I use "get" method to present a form to user, and "post" method to handle the submitted form.
It works fine, but is this approach appropriate? Or should I better define get and post separately in different request handler? Thanks!
Your approach is appropriate. According to the newest documentation you can even define post and get as functions outside request handler and just as other functions in your module and that's a way I would choose since it eliminates problems that can happen when instanciating request handlers.
If starting a new app from scratch I probably would try to put my get and post function outside of request handler with the new python 2.7 runtime that according to docs supports that.
Defining both post and get method under same request handler
