There are two issues here:
1) cgi.FieldStorage behaves differently between 2.5 and 2.6. There is
NO WAY around this problem. For example if the request.get_vars
contain {'x', 'y'} and the request.post_vars contain {'x': ['y','z']}
does it mean that x=y is in the body of the POST or that python is
incorrectly picking it from the GET vars? No way of knowing without
checking the Python version and I do not know for sure which version
have this bug and which don't. The fact is, one should not mix get and
post vars!
2) appadmin works for me. I cannot reproduce ctalley's problem. My
guess is that appadmin was modified to cope with this issue (i vaguely
remember so) and he is using an older appadmin. I suggest he copies
appadmin.py and appadmin.html from a recent web2py welcome app and see
if the problem persists.
