python flask ImmutableMultiDict

Question

This is my code:

@user_bp.route('/band', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def band_details():     from include.form.User import Banddetails     form = Banddetails()      if request.method == 'POST' and  form.validate_on_submit():           pippo =  request.args.getlist('name[]')          print 'sei passato di qui' + str(len(pippo))          for item in pippo:              print item                return "result"             return render_template("banddetails.html", form=form, session=session) 

I have a similar form:

<input type="text" name="name[]" id="name" value=""> 

I want get the element name[], lastname[], ... but I don't understand the procedure described in the flask api.

If you are using an HTTP POST method you need to retrieve parameters like this:

 pippo =  request.form.getlist('name[]') 

If you use HTTP GET method, do it like this:

 pippo =  request.args.getlist('name[]')
