when I'm using following Python code to send a POST request to my Django website I'm getting 403: Forbidden error.

url = 'http://www.sub.example.com/'
values = { 'var': 'test' }

try:
    data = urllib.urlencode(values, doseq=True)
    req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
    response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    the_page = response.read()
except:
    the_page = sys.exc_info()
    raise

When I'm opening any other website it works properly. example.com is Django website too, and it works properly too. I think, that's Django config problem, can anyone tell me what should I do to provide access to my script?

I too had this problem, because I Tried to access the Main endpoint from another endpoint using '../url' URL Jumping. My Solution was to add another path for the same viewset;

router.register('main/url',ViewSet,'name');
router.register('secondary/url',ViewSet,'name')

But in Your Case You are Trying to access it from a completely different Location, From Django's Point of view So You need to mark you ViewSet with @crsf_exempt middleware which will Disable Security Protocols Related to CRSF.
