Django and Ajax, Django not returning posted data.

[G Z]

So I'm trying to write an ajax script that post data to django without 
having to leave the page. Currently it is on submit however eventually im 
going to put it on a timer.

Right now the function outputs to the console as a success but no data is 
returned from django.


Here is my ajax

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#get_info').submit(function() { 
        $.ajax({
            type: $('#get_info').attr('POST'),
            url: $('#get_info').attr('action'),
            data: $('#get_info').serialize(),
            success: function (data) {
                console.log('done');
                console.log($('#get_info').serialize());
            },
            error: function(data) {
                console.log('something went wrong');
            }
        });
        return false;
    });
    });
</script>

Here is the serialized data it outputs to the console.

"done" vmstatus:34
"csrfmiddlewaretoken=HApMk9LWlxNUdlJaD4kj0WZkCTki4hin&selected_customer=24&user=True"

However no django data is returned after that? I know the django code works 
because I was using regular form submission to test it.

here is my views code:

   if request.method == 'POST':   
      posted_data = request.POST.copy()
      customer_id = int(posted_data['selected_customer'])
      for customer in customers:
         if customer.customer_id == customer_id:
            selected_customer = ((decrypt('secretkey', customer.
customer_name), int(customer.customer_id)))       
         customer_list.append((decrypt('secretkey', customer.customer_name), 
int(customer.customer_id))) 
         
      
      vms = PortalCommandCenter.objects.filter(customer_id = customer_id).
distinct('vm_id')
      
           
      context = {'user.is_superuser':user.is_superuser, 
                            'customer_list':customer_list,
                            'customer_id':customer_id,
                            'vms':vms,
                            'posted_data':posted_data,
                            'selected_customer':selected_customer
                             }
         
      return render(request, 'vmstatus.html', context) 

do I need to serialize the data as json so that it is still a dictionary if 
so how do I do that?
