But returning always a list would be very unconfortable.

name = request.form['name'][0] # and ugly

And, as long as we are playing with python internals(ptls), we could do
it the fdscript way,  using non deterministic programming:

 >>> foo = request.form['name']
 >>> foo

 >>> print "My name is:", name
My name is: Lucio
My name is: Otherguy
 >>> t = "Hello, " + name
 >>> t


I have no idea how it could be done, and anyways, i dont really mean it.

So back to the original question, if not unpredicatable and not always
lists, how should request.form return its values? Maybe a container
class that when applied str() would return str(self[0])?
