Django - How to do tuple unpacking in a template 'for' loop

Question

In my views.py, I\'m building a list of two-tuples, where the second item in the tuple is another list, like this:

[ Product_Type_1, [ product_1, product_2 ]         


        

Answer 1

If you have a fixed number in your tuples, you could just use indexing. I needed to mix a dictionary and the values were tuples, so I did this:

In the view:

my_dict = {'parrot': ('dead', 'stone'), 'lumberjack': ('sleep_all_night', 'work_all_day')}

In the template:

  {% for key, tuple in my_dict.items %}
    {{ tuple.1 }}
  {% endfor %}
