If statement always returning True

for my django project I have a page which allows a user to edit their listing, for this I am adding a check that ensures the person opening the page is the owner of the listing. However the if statement I have put in always returns true no matter what, even if I change what it is checking to a totally unrelated object. I even changed it from != to == and it always returned true, does anyone know what is going on here?

@login_required(redirect_field_name='login')
def editlisting(request, pk):

    post = JobListing.objects.get(pk=pk)

    if request.user != post.user:
        print("THIS WORKS") #This is for debugging
        print(request.user) #This is for debugging
        print(post.user) #This is for debugging
        return redirect("index")

    if request.method == "POST":
        form = JobListingForm(request.POST, instance=post)

        if form.is_valid():
            profile = form.save(commit=False)
            profile.user = request.user
            profile.save()
            return redirect('index')

    else:
        form = JobListingForm(instance=post)

    context = {
        "form": form
    }

    return render(request, "editlisting.html", context)

Any help appreciated!
