Multiple Select

[Victor Subervi]

I have the select called variable "these". Whichever option is selected is
passed through the cgi:

import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
these = form.getfirst('these', '')

As I mentioned before, I get the variable all right. That is not the issue.
What is the issue is that I would like to enable the user to select
*several* options; in essence, to turn "these" into a tuple. That way, I
could capture *several* options and enter them all into my database at once.
TIA,
V
