python dictionaries and django

Question

hi I have a python dictionary. How do I output the list of keys in django?

If I do something like

{% for key in dict.keys() %}

 <tr> <td> key </td> </tr>

{% endfor %}

I get

TemplateSyntaxError: Could not parse the remainder: '()' from 'dict.keys()'

Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to use {{ key }} inside the loop for this to work. Also:

{% for key in dict.keys %}

Answer 2

You just need dict.keys , not dict.keys() -- the Django template system will automatically try to call any part of the variable that's callable.

{% for key in list.keys %}
<tr><td>{{ key }}</td></tr>
{% endfor %}

Answer 3

Don't call the dict.keys method in the for loop, and you'll need to actually print out the key var by doing {{ key }} in the forloop. Like this:

{% for key in dict.keys %}

<tr>
  <td>
    {{ key }}
  </td>

</tr>   
{% endfor %}

See Accessing Method Calls in the django documentation.

Answer 4

You have to use {{ key }} instead of just key and dict.keys instead of dict.keys()
