For all but the most popular projects a url works wonders. I'm assuming 

http://grablib.org

If I were to guess:

set_input("a", [True, True, True, True])

but I don't see that form documented on page

http://docs.grablib.org/api/ext_form.html

If it doesn't work try

set_input_by_id(_"a1", True)
set_input_by_id(_"a2", True)

and so on.
