Reported a bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/webpy/+bug/498135 I fixed the exception. Try using the latest trunk. http://github.com/webpy/webpy/commit/43add10136eb503618116b3df683cae23a580c63 Checkboxes are tricky. They have an attribute called value, which is different from its value. In 0.32, checkbox.value used to return its value and 0.33 returns the value of attribute "value" and get_value() returns the actual value that is the checked status.
