Getting list values in django

I am posting values from the frontend using jQuery to django on the backend.

I use 

list = request.POST
print list

which returns:

<QueryDict: {u'country': [u'test'], u'town_select[]': [u'town3', u'town4', u'town5']}>

I want to retrieve the town_select[] list but when I do

town = list.get('town_select[]')

and print it I only get the last town in the list town5. I want to get all three towns.

If anyone knows what I've done wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need to use the getlist method on request.POST.

request.POST.getlist('town_select[]')

You should use

town = request.POST.getlist('town_select')

or maybe 

town = request.POST.getlist('town_select[]')

as this answer suggests.
