For each distinct request a separate "req" object is created.

Suggest you post the actual HTML for a cut down version form which still
shows the problem. I also would suggest setting the target of the form
to be the URL:

    
http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/examples/utilities/form- 
values.html

This mod_python handler will display back the form values and will given
you an independent bit of code to try your form against to see if it is
somehow your handler.

Note that this handler uses Vampire and Vampire's structured form  
handling
mode is enabled. If you use "-" or "." in your form parameter names you
might get strange results. :-(

BTW, what version of mod_python are you using?
