I just recently found myself writing this line of code, which i did not like too much:

if ('upload' in request.POST) or ('delete' in request.POST):

I allready thought about list comprehension, which would look like this:

if [value for value in ['upload','delete'] if value in request.POST]:

Which is not exactly better. My very simple question is: can this be simplified? Or is this just trying to be too smart?

    You could write it more concisely by using set intersection:

    if {'upload', 'delete'} & set(request.POST):

    Or more explicitly:

    if {'upload', 'delete'}.intersection(request.POST):
