3168	[patch] object_list should accept lists as well as QuerySets	Grimboy	nobody	"object_list should accept lists as well as QuerySets. This is perhaps a matter of opinion. Obviously getting access to a list in urls.py isn't practical. However, lots of people use generic views as a way to ""finish off"" real views. It therefore seems a bit limiting to only accept QuerySets. A view may parse some items in an xml file and return them as a list or may do a raw SQL query rather than using Django's ORM. So this is not an impractical addition.

I haven't renamed the queryset argument since it is often specified by keyword. Another, perhaps cleaner solution would be to rename queryset to sequence and accept  queryset as a deprecated (or not) argument."	enhancement	closed	Generic views		normal	wontfix		frankie@…	Design decision needed	1	0	0	1	0	0
