HTMLTemplate help

[David Paleino]

Hi,
I'm a developer who is trying to use the HTMLTemplate module. It's kinda easy
to use, but I've encountered a little "problem". Here it is explained.

I have to render a list of bug reports (to be shown on [1]), which is in the
form of:

[("package1", bug1), ("package1", bug2), ("package2", bug3), ...]

I've got some problems with "innested repeats". Here's my template structure:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tem:
        con:package
        con:count
        rep:packagelist
                con:name
                rep:numbers
                        con:id
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should render something like (the relevant bit):

package1
        bug1
        bug2
package2
        bug3
...

My problem is that it seems like a repeat() inside a for .. in ..: loop is not
supported.

Here's the relevant code:

---8<---

bugs = [("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("b", 3)]
def renderTemplate(node, package, bugs):
    node.package.content = package
    node.count.content = `len(bugs)`
    bugs.sort()
    node.packagelist.repeat(renderBugs, [bugs])

def renderBugs(node, bugs):
    ids = {}
    for tuple in bugs:
        name, id = tuple
        if name not in ids:
            ids[name] = []
        ids[name].append(id)

    # ids.items() =  [('a', [1]), ('b', [2, 3])],
    # which seems suitable for HTMLTemplate's repeat()
    for tuple in ids.items():
        name, bugs = tuple
        node.name.content = name
        node.numbers.repeat(renderBugNumbers, bugs)

def renderBugNumbers(node, number):
    node.id.content = `number`

---8<---

But I don't get the expected result. Here's what I get (relevant bits):

---8<---
<div class="pageBody">
    <h1><?=_("Bugs for all packages")?></h1>
    <table class="bugs">
    <tr>
        <td class="name">b</td>
        <td class="value">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2" class="value">2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2" class="value">3</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</div>

---8<---

Seems like it gets only the last tuple I pass to it.

Is there any way to accomplish what I want? :)

Kind regards,
David Paleino
