No, I just tried it out to make sure, and it does work, though Luke's solution is more robust and accurate.

There is a more "pythonic" way to test, use request.GET.get(,
False)
e.g.:
if request.GET.get('q', False):
etc.
That tests the dict for the key 'q' if it's not there, it returns false.

[solved]Re: test if GET is "empty"
I answer my self: all I need is to test the length of the dictionary. if request.method == "GET" and len(request.GET) != 0: #do stuff > Hello, > > I need to test if the request.GET is empty or if it holds some variable. > So if is empty I can redirect to a page, and if there is some variable > (like user_id='2') I can process the request and do something with > theese variables. > > > Is there any way or do I have to test for every single variable? > > You know, it's boring to write "if request.GET['var1'] and > request.GET['var2'] and ..." > > Regards, > Salvatore > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
