I have an error message on django 1.4:
dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
[EDIT]
It happened when I tried using a template tag like: `{% for v in values %}:
dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required
the code is:
tmp = Item.objects.where(HE("kv").contains({'key':value}))
if tmp.count() > 0:
item_id = tmp[0].id,
I'm just trying to access the value. I don't understand the "update sequence" message. When I use a cursor instead of hstore queryset, the function works. The error comes on template rendering too. I just restarted uwsgi
and everything works well, but the error comes back later.
[edit]
Has someone an idea?
Just ran into this problem. I don't know if it's the same thing that hit your code, but for me the root cause was because I forgot to put name=
on the last argument of the url
(or path
in Django 2.0+) function call.
For instance, the following functions throw the error from the question:
url(r'^foo/(?P<bar>[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.FooBar.as_view(), 'foo')
path('foo/{slug:bar}/', views.FooBar, 'foo')
But these actually work:
url(r'^foo/(?P<bar>[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.FooBar.as_view(), name='foo')
path('foo/{slug:bar}/', views.FooBar, name='foo')
The reason why the traceback is unhelpful is because internally, Django wants to parse the given positional argument as the keyword argument kwargs
, and since a string is an iterable, an atypical code path begins to unfold. Always use name=
on your urls!
