I want to be able to do this:

result = ab.perform(**request.POST)

where:
def perform(self, **kwargs):

Of course, this doesn't work, and I get the error "keywords must be
strings".  After some searching, I suppose this is because the POST
dict uses unicode, but Python expects strings or something like that.
The only thing I found about this was in the django IRC archives and
the person's solution was "don't do that... check the newforms docs"

But, shouldn't I be able to send post data that isn't from a form?
And, shouldn't I be able to access request.POST like a dict? I want my
views to be generic and I don't know what my keywords are.

My question is: is there any way to do this without wasting the time
of a loop that just writes the values and keys into a new dict that I
actually can pass as a keyword argument? This doesn't seem like a
crazy request.  I have my data in nice keyword/value pairs, why should
I have to loop through them just to pass them to a function?
