Google app engine handle html form post array

My HTML code as following:

<INPUT type="text" name="txt[]">
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chk[]"/>

I get the value in PHP by

<?php
$chkbox = $_POST['chk'];
$txtbox = $_POST['txt'];

foreach($txtbox as $a => $b)
  echo "$chkbox[$a]  -  $txtbox[$a] <br />";
?>

How do get the value in Google App Engine using Python?

You don't need that trick in Python. You can have for example many fields with the same names:

<INPUT type="text" name="txt">
<INPUT type="text" name="txt">
<INPUT type="text" name="txt">

<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chk">
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chk">
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chk">

Then get a list of all posted values for those names and merge them using zip(). Example for webapp (which uses webob as request wrapper):

txt = self.request.POST.getall('txt')
chk = self.request.POST.getall('chk')

for txt_value, chk_value in zip(txt, chk):
    print '%s - %s<br />' % (txt_value, chk_value)
