title: How to use GET method on checkbox in Python 2.7
body: <p>Hello I am trying to use the .GET form method on a check box, select tag and radio button in Python2.7 utilising google app engine and thats it. 
  here is the code so far</p>
  
  <p>HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form method='GET'&gt;
  &lt;input type="checkbox" name="name" value="checkbox"&gt;
  &lt;select name='select'&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Python Code</p>
  
  <pre><code>select = self.request.GET['select']
  checkbox = self.request.GET['name']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works for my standard input fields (such as text) but not on any other type of input I use. I have looked everywhere for the documentation on this but have come up empty, any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
