It's clear how to create a URLPattern which dispatches from a URL regex:

(r'^books/$', books),

where books can further dispatch on request method:

def books(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        ...
    else
        ...

I'd like to know if there is an idiomatic way to include the request method inside the URLPattern, keeping all dispatch/route information in a single location, such as:

(r'^books/$', GET, retrieve-book),
(r'^books/$', POST, update-books),
(r'^books/$', PUT, create-books),
