retrieving list items from request.POST in django/python
Question:
In my request.POST i am getting a query dictionary , one of the items in this dictionary is a list with multiple items (pass_id)
eg.
I want to retrieve each of the values in pass_id and store in a new list. Can you suggest the code for this?
Answers:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.QueryDict.getlist
request.POST.getlist('pass_id')
Try following django >1.4 and use
request.POST.dict()
If you’re in a form, a better approach is:
posted = self.fields[field_name].widget.value_from_datadict(
self.data, self.files, self.add_prefix(field_name)
)
This will return a list if appropriate for the field, and apply cleaning, prefixing, etc. (I copied this from Django form form.cleaned_data method.)
