I disagree with the BDFLs on this, for me this pattern is very natural:
{% for key in list_of_keys %}
{{ some_dictionary[key] }}
{{ some_other_dict_with_same_keys[key] }}
{% endfor %}
Obviously this syntax is not allowed, and, as you've found out, key
lookup only works for numeric or string literals.
Therefore, I use a trivial filter tag:
{% load dict_tags %}
{% for key in list_of_keys %}
{{ some_dictionary|get:key }}
{{ some_other_dict_with_same_keys|get:key }}
{% endfor %}
some_app/templatetags/dict_tags.py:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter
def get(the_dict, key):
return the_dict[key]
Cheers
