Building a list in Django templates

Question

With this code:

{% for o in [1,2,3] %}
    

        {% cycle \'row1\' \'row2\' %}
    
{% endf         


        

Answer 1

drodger is correct, you can't do that in the deliberately-crippled Django template lanuage. Either pass in the list as a context variable when you invoke the template or try a template tag like expr. Then you can say {% expr [1,2,3] as my_list %} and then use my_list in your for loop.
