Checkbox Value of Array in Django

Question

I am passing array into my view using checkbox input field. How can i get that array accesses[value][value] in my view with value="1" or "0". I am also using request.POST.getlist('accesses') in my view but it is giving me value then how can i get array. Example - accesses[3][25] values.

Template.html

<input type="checkbox" name="accesses[3][25]" value="1" checked autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses[2][15]" value="1" autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses[4][95]" value="1" autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses[5][10]" value="1" checked autocomplete="off">

View.py

def AclView(request):
   accesses = request.POST.getlist('accesses')

Django does not parse [] from field names to build lists (like PHP does, if I remember correctly). To get a list of values, you have to submit same under the same key. Try this:

<input type="checkbox" name="accesses" value="1" checked autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses" value="1" autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses" value="1" autocomplete="off">
<input type="checkbox" name="accesses" value="1" checked autocomplete="off">

def AclView(request):
   accesses = request.POST.getlist('accesses')

You don't have a list called accesses, you have four individual inputs called "accesses[3][25]" etc. So to should use those names to access them.
