Why can't you change the dictionary? Can't you just create a copy of
the dict and rename the keys in your copy using _ rather than - like
so:
>>> bad = {'var-1':'Apples', 'var-2':'Pears'}
>>> good = dict()
>>> for k,v in bad.items():
>>> good[k.replace('-','_')] = v
>>> good
{'var_1': 'Apples', 'var_2': 'Pears'}
This does assume that you simply want a representation of the dict
data in the template, but I can't see any issues of sending a new dict
to the template. As you say it is certainly an annoying feature of the
Django templating language.
