I took a quick look into the source, and it seems that grab has no notion of 
multiple inputs with the same name. My suggested workaround 

>> set_input_by_id(_"a1", True)

doesn't work because (among other things) the id is immediately translated 
into the name. I fear you have to construct the request manually or choose 
another library -- maybe mechanize (Python 2 only)?
