I can do that, but then I get a key error with the name. However, it  
works with similar code here:

def details(request, pID='0', opts=()):
response = HttpResponse()
        response.write("<HTML><BODY>\n")
        try:
                p = Person.objects.get(id=pID)
                if (pID == '0'):
                        response.write("<H1>Person Details Index</H1><HR>\n")
                else:

                        for d in opts:
                                response.write("<li>%s: %s</li>" % (d, 
p.__dict__[d]))
        except Person.DoesNotExist:
                response.write("Person Not Found")
                
        response.write("</BODY></HTML>")
        return response

I dropped the database and resynced it. No go.


I then went and changed the URL code to pass the params to the view  
with this to this:

details4 = {'opts':('name', 'blogs')}

And now I get:

KeyError at /People/Blog/1/
'blogs'



Which confused me a bit, since blogs is also a key.

I can probably skip this excercise and proceed on with the rest of the  
book since I know now how to pass multiple views and have multiple  
URLs, but this concerns me. Part of me still doesn't understand fully  
why it is not working and I get a feeling that if I don't resolve  
this, I probably screw up the rest of the exercises in the book. :|
