Yes and no. The thing is that a Python translation of it would be expecting to do something like: s = 'FOO' attr_name = 'lower' s.attr_name() Which would throw an AttributeError; instead, in *Python*, you need to do getattr(s, attr_name)() The solution, if and when you need this, is to use a template filter that can do the equivalent of getattr(); I believe there's one on djangosnippets. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
