Some of my buddies have pasted Rails(Rack) and PHP conversion right below. Is that something I am missing? Does it have to do with laziness?

Because Django is not Rails or PHP.

The [] convention is not a standard part of HTTP. I believe it was developed in PHP and DHH adopted it for Rails, but that doesn't make it a standard. Django does not expect data in that format and does not do any specific conversion for it.

The way to provide multiple values for an item in Django is by simply repeating the name:

    ?categories=1&categories=3

which you can then get from the querydict via `request.getlist('categories')
