My Django project is returning a TypeError: 'module' object is not iterable.
I know this type of question is already being asked in community, but none of previous questions could fixed my issue.
perhaps I don't understand something basic, as I'm a novice who freshly learning Python and Django. does anyone can help me to solve this issue?
I created a model as following.
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
class Article(models.Model):
content = models.CharField(max_length=200)
written_date = models.DateTimeField('date written')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.content
Following is view.py
# Create your views here.
from blog.models import Article # Article data models
from django.shortcuts import render # shortcuts to call template
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect # Redirection Module
from django.template import context
from django.utils import timezone # time Module
# blog.views.index
# retrieve all content and display in reverse of order of written_date
# call the template after sorting.
def index(request):
all_articles = Article.objects.all().order_by('-written_date')
return render({'all_articles' : all_articles, 'message' : 'Write something!'},
'blog/index.html', context)
# blog.views.submit
# Receive POST request submitted from user FORM, save the request
# redirect user to index.html
def submit(request):
try:
cont = request.POST['content']
except (KeyError):
return render({'all_articles' : all_articles, 'message' : 'Failed to read content'},
'blog/index.html', context)
else:
article = Article(content=cont, written_date=timezone.now())
article.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/blog')
# blog.views.remove
# delete content which has primary key matched to article_id
# redirect user after deleting content
def remove(request, article_id):
article = Article.objects.get(pk=article_id)
article.delete()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/blog')
Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>One Line Blog</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}styles/blog.css" type="text/css">

</div>
<div>
{% if all_articles %}

{ % for article in all_articles %}

{% else %}

{% endif %}

The Python "TypeError: 'function' object is not iterable" occurs when we try to iterate over a function instead of an iterable (e.g. a list). To solve the error, make sure to call the function, e.g. my_func() if it returns an iterable object.
Conclusion # The Python "TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable" occurs when we try to iterate over a float or pass a float to a built-in function like, list() or tuple() . To solve the error, use the range() built-in function to iterate over a range, e.g. for i in range(int(3.0)): .
The Python "TypeError: 'module' object is not subscriptable" occurs when we import a module as import some_module but use square brackets to access a specific key. To solve the error, use dot notation to access the specific variable or import it directly.
The signature of render is:
render(request, template_name, context=None, content_type=None, status=None, using=None)
You, however, call it in your index view:
return render({'all_articles' : all_articles, 'message' : 'Write something!'},
'blog/index.html', context)
where you pass a dict as request (bad enough) and, which causes the error, as third positional argument (which should be a dict) you pass a variable by the name of context which is a module that you have imported via
from django.template import context
Change it to
return render(request, 'blog/index.html',
context={'all_articles': all_articles, 'message': 'Write something!'})
You made the same mistake in your submit view.
