uhm..... I think that this particular case should be retained as it is: belongs accepts either a list or a set, but not a string, and **should** fail when you pass to it a string instead of a list.
either way your code should do possible_items = request.vars.items if isinstance(possible_items, str): possible_items = [possible_items] results = db(db.table.belongs(possible_items)) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
