I have an error message on Django 1.4:

It happened when I tried using a template tag like: {% for v in values %}:
dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

It happens too when I try to access on a hstore queryset:

ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
The code is:
tmp = Item.objects.where(HE("kv").contains({'key':value}))
if tmp.count() > 0:
item_id = tmp[0].id,
I'm just trying to access the value. I don't understand the "update sequence" message. When I use a cursor instead of hstore queryset, the function works. The error comes on template rendering too. I just restarted uwsgi and everything works well, but the error comes back later.

ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length N; 2 is required # The Python "ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length N; 2 is required" occurs when we use the dict. update() method incorrectly. To solve the error, pass another dictionary or an iterable of key/value pairs to the dict.
The dict. update() method is used to update a value associated with a key in the input dictionary. The function does not return any values, rater it updates the same input dictionary with the newly associated values of the keys.
The update() method takes either a dictionary or an iterable object of key/value pairs (generally tuples). If update() is called without passing parameters, the dictionary remains unchanged.
Just ran into this problem. I don't know if it's the same thing that hit your code, but for me the root cause was because I forgot to put name= on the last argument of the url (or path in Django 2.0+) function call.
For instance, the following functions throw the error from the question:
url(r'^foo/(?P<bar>[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.FooBar.as_view(), 'foo')
path('foo/{slug:bar}/', views.FooBar, 'foo')
But these actually work:
url(r'^foo/(?P<bar>[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.FooBar.as_view(), name='foo')
path('foo/{slug:bar}/', views.FooBar, name='foo')
The reason why the traceback is unhelpful is because internally, Django wants to parse the given positional argument as the keyword argument kwargs, and since a string is an iterable, an atypical code path begins to unfold. Always use name= on your urls!
