 {{{#!python
 >>> foo = None
 >>> hasattr(foo, 'model')
 False
 }}}
 What should be verified is that self has the object_list attribute.
 There's a difference. If you use MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin
 without BaseListView, then it's your responsibility to populate
 self.object_list through the `get()` method.


 > On a secondary note, I don't understand why get_template_names is even
 called when I have defined template_name -- seems like bug?

 Because it's plural. get_template_names should return ''all possible
 candidates for a template name''. Feel free to re-open if you think Django
 is still at fault, but to me it seems more like a documentation issue and
 the CBV docs are greatly improving.
