change in examples/djopenid/util.py normalDict function about python-openid HOT 1 CLOSED

def normal_dict(request):
    """
    Converts a django request arguments (MultiValueDict request.GET, request.POST) into a standard python dict 
    whose values are the last value from each of the MultiValueDict's value lists. This avoids the OpenID library's 
    refusal to deal with dicts whose values are lists, because in OpenID, each key in the query arg set can have at most one value.
    Also converts keys from unicode to string, so they can be used as arguments in functions.

    If request method is POST silently throw out OpenID-like arguments from GET see
    U{http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#rfc.section.4.1.2}

    @param request: Django request object 
    @type request: C{django.http.HttpRequest}
    @return: Dictionary with request arguments
    @rtype: C{dict}
