Twill - how do choose multiple selects with same name
I am using twill and python to write a web crawler. showforms() returns
Form name=customRatesForm (#1)

I've taken out most of the rows to make it easier to read. My problem is that there are actually 12 selects and all of them have the name 'classes'. These pass through CGI as a list. However, Twill seems unable to distinguish between them. Also, when I run
fv('1', 'classes', '0500')
I get the following error:
_mechanize_dist.ClientForm.AmbiguityError: id=None name='0500' label=None
I have tried a few workarounds including renaming the selects with their ids and then rewriting the submit function to use a jQuery selector and reassign their 'name' attribute back to 'classes':
$('.myclasses').attr('name', 'classes');
when I view this in the browser, it seems to reassign them as expected. However, twill's headers still show it as submitting with the names 'classes1', 'classes2', etc.
any help would be much appreciated. I'm out of workarounds that I know of. Because this isn't my page, I am bound by their controller's expectations of a list for the 'classes' selects.
as far as i've found till now, there is no way to do this with twill. any solution is going to be a workaround outside of twill.
