Passing URL parameters to webapp2.RequestHandler in python results in 'None'

Question

I have the following web application, which has 1 handler:

class GetHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    def get(self, name):
        self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
        self.response.write(name)

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
                    (r'/get(.)*', GetHandler)
], debug=False)

I'm running this application in local host port 8080. And I'm sending this request in the browser:

http://localhost:8080/get?name=Peter

The output I'm getting is:

None

Although I'm passing a parameter. I was expecting the output to be as I passed the parameter. Am I missing something here? Why my handler doesn't work as expected?
