How about {% for item in items %} {% otherwise %} {% endfor %} form? And -1 for the {% else %}. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group. To post to this group, send email to

Re: Proposal: Optional {% default %} clause for the {% for %} template tag

I'm wondering who that's going to confuse. It's very clear that the template language isn't Python, so I'd think it'd make the most sense to use a keyword that makes sense within the context of the template language. I'd think that either 'else' or 'ifnone' are the most memorable/readable.

Re: Proposal: Optional {% default %} clause for the {% for %} template tag

The else clause executes unless a loop is broken (that is, with the break or obviously by raising an exception), and executes after a loop ends normally. >>> for i in "abc":... pass ... else: ... print "else" else >>> On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 8:32 PM, Ned Batchelder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote:

But this does operate the same as the Python for/else, no? >>> for i in []: ... print "boo" ... else: ... print "foo" ... foo >>> --Ned. http://nedbatchelder.com Calvin Spealman wrote: > On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 8:18 PM, oggie rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >

Note, that this is actually a dupe of #3481. Regarding, {% else %}, see what Malcolm said about it - http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3481#comment:2 On Oct 29, 1:18 pm, oggie rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > {% for item in grocery_list %} > >   {{ item }} > > {% default %} > >   Nothing to

Hi there, I propose a feature which we already discussed a bit before 1.0 in ticket #6398 [1]. It's about a small enhancement to the "for" template tag that would allow users to specify a default item to be shown in case the given iterable is empty. Currently that's also possible with this: {%
