Define your function like this:
def makechanges(request):

The request object contains your fields, in request.form.list .
You can process them in a loop:
for f in request.form.list:
    #f.name is the name of the field
    #f.value holds the value of the field

(See more in modpythion docs, chapter 4.4)

Cheers,
Sandor
