Question

I have added the dictionary to the object with this:

dict['var1'] = {'value': 'tetsing'}

object.dict = dict

Now I am confused how to access the dictionary in view. Do I use:

object.dict['var1']['value'] or object.dict.var1.value

Answer 1

First of all you should to rename variable and attribute names so that they aren’t in conflict with built-in names like dict.

Now, in normal Python code, use the first way.

However, if you are trying to access it from the Django template, use the second one.
