Use the source Luke.
Read HTTPRequest.py then inside the psp
<%
form_fields = self.request().fields()
%>
<%= form_fields['name'] %>
or better yet...
<%
request = self.request()
%>
<%= request.field('name') %>
Using the request allows you to access forms and cookies from the
same object. You can also get the session, transaction,
environment and other request attributes.
