Question

All,

This is the request from the template that i get

u'subjects': [u'7', u'4', u'5', u'3', u'2', u'1']

In my views how to extract the values like 7 4 5 3 2 1

How do i extract the above sequence from

new_subjects=request.POST.get('subjects')

Thanks.

Answer 1

request.POST is an instance of QueryDict which have a method named getlist that returns a list of values for the given key.

Example:

>>> new_subjects = request.POST.getlist('subjects')
>>> print new_subjects
[u'7', u'4', u'5', u'3', u'2', u'1']

See gnibbler’s response for converting the list items to integers.
