django - getlist

What is this?

QueryDict.getlist(key, default=None)¶

Returns a list of the data with the requested key. Returns an empty list if the key doesn’t exist and default is None. It’s guaranteed to return a list unless the default value provided isn’t a list.

 

e.g.

>>> q = QueryDict('a=1', mutable=True)

>>> q.update({'a': '2'})

>>> q.getlist('a') ['1', '2']

>>> q['a'] # returns the last '2'
