Hello,
In the deprecated implementation of generic views (as functions) there was
the extra_context list to pass extra arguments to the template.
Since 1.3 and the new implementation of generic views as classes doing the
same need the creation of a new customized class which inherits from the
ListView class as documented here (in the extra_context chapter):
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/generic-views-migration/#the-
context-data-for-object-list-views
It's not pythonic since the new implementation recquire more knowledge of
the underlying code, and basicaly, more code to do the same! So it's a
regression from my point of view.
It would be really simple to solve it keeping classes implementation by
creating a new property as list type. So when instanciate the ListView
class we would be able to give the extra variables as arguments.
Really need little modification to the existing code!
