>You could probably use a list comp for this, but there's not a lot of difference. (By the way, you should be aware that you're shadowing the builtin 'dict' here. That's not a problem, but be aware.) dict.update(((key,form[key].value) for key in form)) That's a generator that returns a (key,value) tuple for each form element, which update() will happily use. But the last line: > locals().update(dict) is, IMHO, a very bad idea. Rename your dictionary to 'request' or 'data' or 'form' or something, and then reference form['name3'] instead; or, be explicit: name3=form['name3'] Incidentally, you seem to be working at the module level, where locals() is globals() (and I mean that literally - 'locals() is globals()' is True). You may not be able to do this with locals() in a function: http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#locals Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
