Selection based of variables issue

[nikos]

I typed it like this because iam using flask and the code was within a view function, hence i couldnt use print.

		if '=' not in name + month + year:
			printdata = "one"
		elif '=' not in month + year:
			printdata = "two"
		elif '=' not in name + year:
			printdata = "three"
		elif '=' not in year:
			printdata = "four"
......
......
return printdata

The returning corresponding values returned are: name, month, and years are form drop down menu values which i seeect by hand frm another view fucntion and if i try to print them they print correctly.

"one"
"two"
"one"
"two"

Numbers three and four never being returned.

Also i checked the values name, month, year that came as
name = request.args.get('name')
month = request.args.get('month')
year = request.args.get('year')

and all being correct.

The code must be in the short circuit logic?
