Re: [Zope-dev] TALES idea: tuple unpacking

Say a method listFilesByUser returns a list of (user, [files]) it'd be nice to be able to::

tal:repeat="user,files here/listFilesByUser"

or similar. Currently we would have to use a python: expression to manually unpack the tuple. Kinda yucky.

yeah, or make listFilesByUser return {'username': user, 'files': files} and:: <tal:x repeat="user_dict here/listFilesByUser"> <tal:y define="user user_dict/username; files user_dict/files" /> </tal:x> also not ideal. I think the format in your example works well. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
