Hi all, I'm talking about this ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12816
With class-based views landed and the deprecation of django.views.generic.simple (and direct_to_template in particular) there won't be simple and undeprecated shortcut for render_to_response. So please add the 'render' shortcut in 1.3. direct_to_template was always a hack (when used as render_to_response replacement) because it 'unrolls' callables and 1.3 seems to be a perfect place to replace small hacks for proper solutions. Please take my proposal as a gentle reminder :) If there are reasons for this not to be in 1.3 (developer time, unresolved questions, etc.) then fine, but it'll be pity if this feature won't be in next release just because we forget about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
