Question

I’m trying to find a way to easily loop through a Google App Engine (Python) Model and to print out each property and the property name.

This is how I’m trying it, and after some research I realize I can’t next variables in each other. Is there a way to do this with filters or a way to return all of the values of the properties of a Model?

Thanks

templateargs = {'properties':MyModel.properties(), 'user1':MyModelObj, 'user2':MyModelObj}


{% for property in properties %}
    Property: {{property}}
    User1:  {{user1.{{property}}}}
    User2:  {{user2.{{property}}}}
{% endfor %}

After some more research I realized the proper way to do this was with gettattr. I used a filter along the lines of:

@register.filter 
def mygetattr(obj, name): 
    return getattr(obj, name)
