It's not about Django. All the other HTTP methods except GET, e.g. PUT, POST, DELETE etc require a form to simulate. Because when the HTTP request is made, the request needs to mention what type of request it is. When you enter an URL on the browser address bar, it's always GET. You can write a form and modify it's method attribute to say if it's PUT, POST etc. Other ways to request those methods is to use a http library like requests or simple Javascript

var xmlhttp;

function test(){
    execute('GET', 'http://server.com/testServer.php');
    execute('POST', 'http://server.com/testServer.php');
    execute('PUT', 'http://server.com/testServer.php');
    execute('DELETE', 'http://server.com/testServer.php');
}

function execute($method,$url){
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlhttp.open($method,$url,true)
    xmlhttp.send(null);
}

You can read this question for more details. JS snippet taken from here.
