Comment (by Rob Hudson <[email protected]>):
More context of why this is useful...
Similar to iterating over fields in a Form or ModelForm, you could use the
model_to_dict method for a template (or email, etc.) like so:
{{{
def profile_detail(request, profile_id):
try:
profile = Profile.objects.get(pk=profile_id)
except Profile.DoesNotExist:
raise Http404
return render_to_response('profiles/detail.html', {
'profile': profile,
'profile_data': model_to_dict(profile, exclude=('last_modified',))
})
}}}
In the template you'd then have something you can iterate:
{{{
<dl>
{% for key, value in profile_data.items %}
<dt>{{ key }}</dt>
<dd>{{ value }}</dd>
{% endfor %}
</dl>
}}}
With model_to_dict not using SortedDict, the items come out in an unknown
order, which isn't useful for this purpose.
I plan on running the test suite to make sure this change doesn't break
any tests, and adding some docs where appropriate.
