Okay, I found the solution and post it here in case somebody else
needs it.
In my form definition I add some checkboxes, like this:
myform = form.Form(form.Checkbox("firstbox", description="firstbox",
value="firstbox"),
...
In my class I define:
def POST(self):
...
firstbox = form['firstbox'].checked
Now I can use it like this:
if firstbox:
# meaning: if the value of firstbox is true (checked)
...
else:
'none'
It works fine now
