Hi Kirk,

Ah!  the getvalue() method was only recently added in Python 2.2 as part
of the "Higher Level Interface" of the 'cgi' module:

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/node296.html

If you want to stick with Python 1.52, you might be able to use this:

    mylist = form['listname'].value

... although this isn't quite equivalent.  Is it possible to upgrade to
Python 2.2?


Hope this helps!
