django read radio value from a normal form

my form code is :

<td class="desc"><label>Description:<input type="text" name="desc"></label></td>
    <td class="tags"><label>Tags:<input type="text" name="tag"></label></td>
<td><label>Public:<input type="radio" name="pri" value="1"></label>
<label>Private:<input type="radio" name="pri" value="0"></label></td>

in views.py 

meta['pri'] = request.POST.get('pri','')

why i choose the Private button, the value "pri" always is the "1"

Only solution for this is using onclick event on radio button and writing to hidden input with another name, then working with this input in views

I think you can get the result like this:

meta['pri'] = bool(request.POST.get('pri')=='1')

You are selecting by name, so the first element with the name 'pri' is selected, which will always be the label element with the name 'pri' and a value of 1. The name of the label should be different to the name of the input element.
