And if you're too lazy to go back and convert the 25 checkboxes to an
array/list/dictionary, this will create a list from the existing
variable names:

s1 = 'one'
s2 = 'two'
s3 = 'three'
s4 = 'four'

s_list = []
s_list.append(None)  # since there is no s0, let's use 1 based list

for i in range(1, 5):
	code = "s%d" % i
	s_list.append(eval(code))


print s_list
