HttpRequest or request what's the difference?

Question

Django

Sorry for the dumb question. The documentation says that django works with HttpRequest, but in the examples it is written simply request. What is the secret here? In the case of HttpResponse, this is not observed, there is HttpResponse everywhere. Please clarify)

Answer 1

request - the name of the variable to which the HttpRequest is passed. Its name can be changed. For example, I'm used to writing req , but it doesn't matter.
