python get array parameter

Question

I'm comming from php where $_GET [ 'filter' ] on a url such as example.com/?filter[0][field]=username&filter[0][data][type]=string&filter[0][data][value]=someusername will return an array which can be parsed as:

foreach ( $_GET [ 'filter' ] as $k => $field ) {
    $fieldName = $field [$k] [ 'data' ] [ 'field' ];
    $fieldType = $field [$k] [ 'data' ] [ 'type' ];
    $fieldValue = $field [$k] [ 'data' ] [ 'value' ];
    //        do something with the values
}

Question is....how do I parse them in python in such way?

I cannot access request.args.get( 'filter', None ) but I have results on request.args.get( 'filter[0][field]', None )

depends entirely on which of the million frameworks you use

In case you are using the publisher of apache mod python you can specify the arguments in your index function. Let's assume you call

http://yourserver/script.py?name=John&age=36

Then your script.py should look something like

def index (req, name = None, age = None):
    return "Hello %s, you are %s years old." % (name, age)

Same thing for both GET and POST.
