My view code looks basically like this:
context = Context() context['my_dict'] = {'a': 4, 'b': 8, 'c': 15, 'd': 16, 'e': 23, 'f': 42 } context['my_list'] = ['d', 'f', 'e', 'b', 'c', 'a'] And what I'd like to do in my Django template is this:
<ul> {% for item in my_list %} <li>{{ item }} : {{ my_dict.item }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul> And I'd like this to output:
<ul> <li> d : 16 </li> <li> f : 42 </li> <li> e : 23 </li> <li> b : 8 </li> <li> c : 15 </li> <li> a : 4 </li> </ul> But the reference to the dict by variable name via {{ my_dict.item }} doesn't actually work. I suspect it's internally doing my_dict['item'] instead of my_dict[item]. Is there any way to work around this?

To access a dictionary element in a Python Django template, we can use the items property. We get the key and value pairs from choices. items and then we render them in the li element.
From the documentation: {% extends variable %} uses the value of variable. If the variable evaluates to a string, Django will use that string as the name of the parent template. If the variable evaluates to a Template object, Django will use that object as the parent template.
A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Some constructs are recognized and interpreted by the template engine. The main ones are variables and tags. A template is rendered with a context.
There's no builtin way to do that, you'd need to write a simple template filter to do this: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3371
