Re: [Zope-dev] Returning lists of Tuples from External Methods

But if I return a two element tuple, I get a list of the second element of the tuple when I use <dtml-in>. I suspect Zope is doing something like interpreting the tuple list as name/value pairs and adding them to the namespace. But I haven't found any documentation on it. Any clues on what is happening here?

When iterating over a sequence of two-item tuples, <dtml-in> puts the first item into "sequence-key" and the second into "sequence-item". It is indeed treating the sequence as a .items() style list.
