for request.args I can do

and will return None if there is no such element, much nicer than
request.args[0] if len(request.args)0 else None
I always wondered why this does not work for request.vars I have the
following all over my code
q = request.vars['q'] if request.vars.has_key('q') else None
did I miss something?
Hi.
You can do:
q = request.vars.get('q', None)
You can put anything instead of None. It's like a default value.

Or just q = request.vars.get('q'), since None is the default.
This is standard dictionary behavior in Python. It and setdefault are
particularly useful dict methods, and worth getting to know.
