If it's a plain html form and you get your values thru request.POST
(or GET), remember that the http protocol is text-based, and that
len('66') == 2.
django's HttpRequest object's GET and POST are QueryDict instances.
You may want to use POST.getlist(yourcheckboxnamehere) instead of
POST[yourcheckboxnamehere], and if you expect integers, do the
conversion by yourself (hint : map(int, yourlist))
