Nice example of "Simple is better than complex". I like it.

"Django does not have a clean, built-in mechanism to separate GET and POST implementations."

Yes it does. Use a class based view and derive your class from ProcessFormView. Then, simply define get() and post() methods.

See the Django ProcessFormView docs.
