I have a QueryDict that I get from request.POST in this format:

<QueryDict: {'name': ['John'], 'urls': ['google.com/\r\nbing.com/\r\naskjeeves.com/'], 'user_email': ['[email protected]']}>

Why are the values all in lists?

I did dict(request.POST)

I got

{'name': ['John'], 'urls': ['google.com/\r\nbing.com/\r\naskjeeves.com/'], 'user_email': ['[email protected]']}

How can I get?:

{'name': 'John', 'urls': 'google.com/\r\nbing.com/\r\naskjeeves.com/'`, 'user_email': '[email protected]'}

You can use list comprehension to get the first entry from the value lists;

dd = dict(request.POST)
ddnew = {k:dd[k][0] for k in dd}
