How can I detect whether a form was submitted via an AJAX post or just a browser submit in Pylons?

For example:

if 'name' in request.POST:
    #Do something

Would be true if ‘name’ was submitted via ajax or just a regular post. How can I differentiate?

Thank you.

    You can use request.is_xhr.
    This relies on your javascript framework to set the X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest header, but that’s not bad since most frameworks like jquery add this header.
