Hi there, > As templates cannot do lookups into a dictionary....
Templates can do lookups into a dictionary, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/templates/#variables (check the "Behind the scenes" section). From what you've described, I'd try to prepare the necessary data in a view (using caching, if possible at all), build the appropriate data structure to be displayed and then use the template layer to do a "dummy" display. Then you'd have the full power of Python at your disposal to perform the best access to your data and combining the models together into and array of items or a dictionary, depending on your need.
