In your view code you can do something like this:

def my_view(request)
  referer = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', '')
  if referer == 'absolute/path/to/somepage.html':
    # do something
    ...
  else:
    # do something else
    ...

Note that you probably want to avoid hard-coding URLs in your view code (as I've done above for the sake of simplicity, you probably want to use reverse().
