Hello Gabriel,
Instead of
courses = new_data['courses']
use
courses = new_data.getlist('courses')
The "courses" is not a string, but a class similar to a list type (I
don't remember the name of that class). The last item of that list is
the representation of that class. Therefore, you see 2 if something
till 2 is selected and you see 3 if something until 3 is selected. And
"getlist" is the method to get a list of all its items (i.e.: [1,3]).
I hope this will help you to solve your problem. To make it clear what
is what, play around with Python IDE:
python manage.py shell
Good luck!
