I'm having trouble getting a list into a python script from an HTML form. The form itself has: <FORM ACTION="send_docket_msg" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> </FORM> Incidentally, <TEXTAREA NAME="cc_list:list" COLS="40" ROWS="6"></TEXTAREA> .. makes no difference. When I get to my python script and run... S = '' x = 0 for y in cc_list: if y <> '': S = S + 'Sending e-mail to ' + y + '\n' x = x + 1 ..the result is that S is the entire contents of cc_list and it only goes through the loop once, regardless of how many lines were in cc_list. Is there a way to take a textarea result and somehow have the python script see it as a list or use a function to turn it into a list? Thanks to all in advance, Ron
