Is there an easy way to output that as: "foo, bar, and twinky"
If you want to do it in python, use reduce:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# l is the list, r is the humanised result
r = reduce(lambda x, y: str(x) + "," + str(y), l)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
or more efficiently,
text = ", ".join(map(str, data))
but this only inserts commas. maybe you could add something like this
to a suitable templatetags module:
def join_en(seq):
seq = map(str, seq)
if not seq:
return "" # empty
if len(seq) == 1:
return seq[0]
elif len(seq) == 2:
return " and ".join(seq)
text = ", ".join(seq[:-1])
return text + ", and " + seq[-1]
register.filter(join_en)
tweak as necessary.
(note that there is a "humanize" template tag collection under contrib,
but that one is currently focussed on numbers, not lists).
