I realize very often, that I have to decide between using the object
(s) i.e.
Pic.objects.get(id=1)
or the dict that values() returns me, see
Pic.objects.get(id=1).values()
I have to decide either/or because sometimes I have some additional
data,
I want to add to the dict, before passing it to the template. In that
case it
makes most sense to use values(), i.e.
p = Pic.objects.get(id=1).values()
p["extra_value"] = some_calculation(p)
I could also do that by implementing the some_calculation() as a method
of Pic, but sometimes that is only a one time case and shouldnt go in
the
main object.
That again prevents me form calling the object's methods inside the
template
since I only have a dict of the values :-(
Anyone got a nice trick for enhancing the object's data just for use
in a certain template/view?
thx in advance
