I'm trying to process incoming JSON/Ajax requests with Django/Python. request.is_ajax() is True on the request, but I have no idea where the payload is with the JSON data. request.POST.dir contains this: ['__class__', '__cmp__', '__contains__', '__copy__', '__deepcopy__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__gt__', '__hash__
