It's based on the dictionary API. get basically means:
def get(self, key, default=None):
if key in self:
return self[key]
else:
return default
So it makes sense based on that. In some other frameworks I worked
with places where you would get a single value or a list depending on
how many values were passed in, and I found it generally less
productive, so multidict acts like a flat single-value dictionary
unless you use something specific (like getall).
There's no standard API I really know of for a dict-view over a list.
There's an ordered dict in Python now, but it's single-value, so it
has no real API over a normal dictionary.
