You'll notice that that data is coming back as ['row 1']. It's in a list. > When I attempt to return the same > data with my view, it does not appear to work. Here is the view: > > from django.http import HttpResponse > from board.models import Post > > def current_board(request): > posts = Post.objects.filter(id=1) > html = "<html><body> %s</body><html>" % posts > return HttpResponse(html) > > > The above simply prints "[ ]" Any thoughts?

So you're trying to stringify a list. That's where the '[' and ']' are coming from. I don't know why you're not seeing any of the items in that list, because my testing: >>> foo = [1,2,3] >>> print 'x%sx' % foo x[1, 2, 3]x shows that stringifying a list should print the list as you'd expect. But this may lead you to a solution.
