I have the select called variable "these". Whichever option is selected
is passed through the cgi:
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
these = form.getfirst('these', '')
As I mentioned before, I get the variable all right. That is not the
issue. What is the issue is that I would like to enable the user to
select *several* options; in essence, to turn "these" into a tuple. That
way, I could capture *several* options and enter them all into my
database at once.

Please don't top post.
From the docs:
getfirst( name[, default])
This method always *returns* *only* *one* value associated with form
field name. The method returns only the first value in case that more
values were posted under such name. Please note that the order in which
the values are received may vary from browser to browser and should not
be counted on.18.1 If no such form field or value exists then the method
returns the value specified by the optional parameter default. This
parameter defaults to None if not specified.
getlist( name)
This method always *returns* *a* *list* of values associated with form
field name. The method returns an empty list if no such form field or
value exists for name. It returns a list consisting of one item if only
one such value exists.
Hope this helps.
