getting tuples from http request.GET

[Sunil Sawant]

Hi Guys,

Pretty new to Django, but used it blindly and works wonders. But here is a situation I am blocked at now for a new project

I request.GET the following URL

https://mydesktop.com/validator?hostname1=host1.example.com,location1=ca,ip1=2.2.2.2,hostname2=host2.example.com,location2=wa,ip2=3.3.3.3

Am using request.GET I want to get the output in a tuple or hash form as:

[{host1.example.com:[ca,2.2.2.2]},{host2.example.com:[wa,3.3.3.3]}]

Once I have this data I can process it further.
Please help

Hi,

Normally query arguments are separated by &. If you're able to send the data like this:

https://mydesktop.com/validator?hostname1=host1.example.com&location1=ca&ip1=2.2.2.2&hostname2=host2.example.com&location2=wa&ip2=3.3.3.3

Then you could do something like:

data = []
i = 0
while True:
    i += 1
    try:
        data.append((request.GET['hostname%s' % i], request.GET['location%s' % i], request.GET['ip%s' % i]))
    except KeyError:
        break

Thanks  Collin, you cut out the crap from from my code. Simple is beautiful :)

You could use the same variable name on the querystring and call:

request.GET.getlist

For example, on a select multiple field ou checkbox
