Comment:
> mvdict = MultiValueDict({"number": "54321"})
This is incorrect usage. If instantiated manually (which is not part of
the documented public API) the value of each item should be a list.
Compare:
{{{
>>> mvdict = MultiValueDict({"number": "54321"})
>>> mvdict.getlist("number")
['5', '4', '3', '2', '1']
>>> mvdict = MultiValueDict({"number": ["54321"]})
>>> mvdict.getlist("number")
['54321']
}}}
Note that the public `QueryDict` handles this as required:
{{{
>>> from django.http import QueryDict
>>> q = QueryDict("number=54321")
>>> q.getlist("number")
['54321']
}}}
