            getspecification = request.POST['clientspecification']
            getnotes = request.POST['notes']
            request.session['getappid'] = getappid

        else:
            request.method['usubmit'] == 'Update'
            saveapplid = request.POST['appid']
            savejobtitle = request.POST['jobtitle']
            saveodesk = request.POST['odeskid']
            savespecification = request.POST['clientspecification']
            savenotes = request.POST['notes']

            saveapp = applicationform.objects.get(app_id = saveapplid)
            saveapp.job_title = savejobtitle
            saveapp.odesk_id = saveodesk
            saveapp.user_specification = savespecification
            saveapp.notes = savenotes
            saveapp.save()  
            return HttpResponse(1)
#       return HttpResponseRedirect('/tableview/')

request.method is a string (you just tested if it is equal to "POST" in the first if statement)!

Did you meant to test against request.POST['usubmit'] instead?

The line:

if request.method['usubmit'] == 'new':

will throw an error, but perhaps you wanted:

if request.POST['usubmit'] == 'new':

instead. Moreover, the lines:

else:
    request.method['usubmit'] == 'Update'

don't do what you think they do. You probably wanted to test if usubmit is equal to 'Update' for the second block:

elif request.POST['usubmit'] == 'Update':
