Oh well :-D
I see, that explains things...
 
> <input name="list:boxname"> 
Indeeed it would sound like a good idea, but it doesn't work
I couldn't find any litterature on this on the internet, pity, it sounds 
familiar....
 
I'll keep looking: i'm not too happy with my current fix:
try:
    dic['box'].sort()
except:
    dic['box']=[dic['box']]
 
Thanks,
Jonathan

Aah, restricted code :-) You can't access all attributes, and some 
other magic occurs.
Sometimes, it's not homogeneous to current Python. I don't know about 
lists, but I do know that you can't use 'set' (appeared in
python 2.4).

Anyway, I think that if you explicit specify type your input  in the 
html <input name=l"ist:boxname"> then you should get a list no matter 
what.
I'm not 100% sure, but you should give it a try.
