{% for x, y in dictionary %} not working as documented

[Hector Lecuanda]

When unpacking key: value pairs in a dict, in a foor loop, as documented in ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#ttag-for , x gets the first character of key, y gets the second character of key.

Template Code:

{{django_version}}

Image Sizes: {{ insert_image_sizes|pprint }}

{% for compartment,inserts in insert_image_sizes %}
    compartment: {{ compartment|pprint }}
    inserts: {{inserts}}
{% endfor  %}
insert_image_sizes.101.aaaa.1:{{ insert_image_sizes.101.aaaa.1}}
insert_image_sizes.1.1.1:{{ insert_image_sizes.1.1.1}}

Output:

1.0-final-SVN-8985

Image Sizes: {u'-': {},
 u'101': {u'aaaa': (92, 169), u'bbb': (91, 169)},
 u'102': {u'cccc': (53, 98), u'dddd': (53, 98)},
 u'103': {},
 u'104': {},
 u'105': {}}

Re-read that piece of documentation you referred to. You'll notice that it says you need to loop over my_dict.items for dictionaries.
