Sorry if this has been brought up before, I tried searching...
Would it be too complex/controller-y/confusing to allow sequence
unpacking in Django's for loops? As far as I can tell it isn't
supported. So for example, if I have a list...
fruits = [('apple', 10), ('orange', 5), ('banana', 7)]
...as far as I know the only way to access both items is like so:
{% for item in fruits %}
You have {{ item.1 }} {{ item.0 }}{{ item.1|pluralize }}.
{% endfor %}
Using a dictionary instead makes things a little prettier:
fruits = [{'name': 'apple', 'count': 10}, ...]
{% for item in fruits %}
You have {{ item.count }} {{ item.name }}{{ item.count|pluralize }}.
{% endfor %}
...but in my mind this looks familiar and isn't too crazy for
designers:
{% for name,count in fruits %}
You have {{ count }} {{ name }}{{ count|pluralize }}.
{% endfor %}
In my opinion that's not doing too much logic to be available in
template processing. Also, I think the syntax can remain simple, maybe
disallow parentheses, no space around the commas? Too much for
template designers? Use a dictionary instead? What do you guys think?
I'll write a patch if there's any interest...
