Well I'm totally confused.

According to form.__class__.name it is a FieldStorage object as 
expected.

When I dir the object to a file I get a list:

['FieldStorageClass', '_FieldStorage__write', '__contains__', 
'__doc__', '__getattr__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__iter__', 
'__len__', '__module__', '__repr__', 'bufsize', 'disposition', 
'disposition_options', 'done', 'file', 'filename', 'fp', 'getfirst', 
'getlist', 'getvalue', 'has_key', 'headers', 'innerboundary', 
'keep_blank_values', 'keys', 'length', 'list', 'make_file', 'name', 
'outerboundary', 'read_binary', 'read_lines', 'read_lines_to_eof', 
'read_lines_to_outerboundary', 'read_multi', 'read_single', 
'read_urlencoded', 'skip_lines', 'strict_parsing', 'type', 
'type_options']

Included in the list of methods is has_key, but it fails on attempting 
to use the method:

if form.has_key('flav'):
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/cgi.py", line 603, in has_key
     raise TypeError, "not indexable"

Which looking at the cgi module means that cgi.list is equal to None.

So presumably I have some issue where the cgi parameters are not 
getting to the actual script.

I should point out that if I move the whole pyblosxom and my entries to 
a different server everything works as expected, so it's a problem on 
this particular server. Unfortunately it happens to be the server where 
my site is hosted.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks again,

Richard
