Does "it" here mean the template that is rendered? Or the form data that
is submitted? It sounds like, for some reason, this isn't being run
through the template renderer.
Could you show the view function that is creating the data to send to
the template and the portion of the template that renders the form?

Well, you won't get that. If you're using a CheckBox widget you'll get
back a bunch of "names" for those widgets which were selected.

I don't understand where this two-level structure is coming from. An
HTML form returns a bunch of name/value pairs, essentially and that's
the data Django presents to you. The request.POST data structure is
basically a dictionary. You can then run through the keys and values
there and convert it to some other type of data structure if you like,
but maybe that isn't necessary.
Again, I'll refer you back to the questions in my original reply. You
haven't answered any of them, which is making it hard understand what's
going on.
