Unpacking request.GET into a function call turns the values into lists with one item.

[atursams]

Going to this url:

​http://localhost:8000/api/quote?from_currency_code=EUR&amount=300&to_currency_code=ILS

from django.shortcuts import render

def print_params(**kwargs):
    print(*kwargs.items())

async def index(request):
    print_params(**request.GET)

results in this

('from_currency_code', ['EUR']) ('amount', ['300']) ('to_currency_code', ['ILS'])

This is an odd behavior. request.GET.items() has the expected result.

This is expected behaviour of QueryDict. ​From the docs:

In an HttpRequest object, the GET and POST attributes are instances of django.http.QueryDict, a dictionary-like class customized to deal with multiple values for the same key. This is necessary because some HTML form elements, notably <select multiple>, pass multiple values for the same key.

(The underlying storage is a list.)
