My article Django’s template syntax, enhanced ifchanged contained a couple of errors in my thinking.

For one the code I had shown

{% for country in countries %}
    {% for city in country.cities %}

            {{ city.name }}
        

    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

would never produce the expected output

Berlin
Munich
Hamburg
Barcelona
Valencia
Madrid
Moscow
Kiev
St. Petersburg

What it outputs instead is the following:

Berlin
Munich
Hamburg
Barcelona
Valencia
Madrid
Moscow
Kiev
St. Petersburg

And that is simply because I had a logical error while writing the article. I was so excited about having a useful patch for Django and I also saw it soooo reasonable to have this change (which I still do) that I was blind and didn’t really test the patch.

But now
I have written the tests and added them to the ticket. And I still see the patch as something useful. And another patch for Django’s template system is under way … I feel like I either don’t really understand how to use the Django’s template system or it really lacks the basic functionality that I am trying to provide by the patches. We will, see let me get deeper into it and I will be enlightened I hope

Sorry for the confusion …
