How to use __repr__ method within django template?

Question

For example, there is an object in a nested loop:

 {% for fieldset in inline_admin_form %}
                    {% for line in fieldset %}
                      {% for field in line %}

                        {% if field.is_hidden %} {{ field.field }} {% endif %}
                      {% endfor %}
                    {% endfor %}
                  {% endfor %}
              {% endif %}

Now I want to check the class name and some information about field.field, so I use field.field.__repr__() to replace field.field.

However, the django template complains about it after the change:

Variables and attributes may not begin with underscores: 'field.field.__repr__'

Does anyone have idea about this? And is there any better way to debug for a variable in django template? (I tried {% debug %} but found it awful when I want to check a variable in a nested loop..)

Answer 1

{{ value|stringformat:'r' }}

uses the string % operator style formatting with the r format which uses repr()
