CGI GET vs. POST

I'm trying to use the cgi module in a CGI script,
but encountered a problem.
My form looks like this:
<form method=...>
<input name=keyword>
<input type=submit>
</form>
and this is part of the Python code in the script:
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
if form.has_key("keyword"):
keyword = form["keyword"].value
... and so on.
If I use method=POST in the CGI-script, the
"keyword" is found as a field in FieldStorage,
but NOT if I use method=GET.
Is FieldStorage only usable with POST?
Thanks,
Thomas
