Django for ISchoolers: Difference between revisions

Note: One important thing to keep in mind is that the Django templating language is ''NOT'' as powerful as Python or Django proper! There are many functions that Python has that the templating language does not support. For instance, you can't add or subtract within the templating language. Similarly, there are limits to what data the templating language cannotcan access data in the database all on its own -- it has to be passed that data by the view. This is ''on purpose''. You should NOT be doing heavy-duty computing or data slicing and dicing in your templates! That logic should be in your views.py file, or a helper script of some kind if necessary. Remember M-V-C separation?
