I want to display a list of things on my template. So I have a view to generate that list and pass it to template like this:
newlinks = []
try:
links=urllib2.urlopen("<<Some HTML file link>>").readlines()
except (urllib2.HTTPError):
links = ''
pass
for link in links:
newlinks.append(link[0:-1])
return render_to_response('template11.html', {'links',newlinks}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
But while rendering it, i get TypeError
Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: unhashable type: 'list'
This is template code:
{% for link in links %}
<li>{{ link }}</li>
{% endfor %}
I don't understand this error. Also if this approach is wrong(I think it is), then how would I pass a list to template?
In return render_to_response()
, {'links',newlinks}
is causing the error. It should be {'links': newlinks}
.
