for key, value in some_dict does not work

[whoozle]

I have the following code in my template:

{% if form.has_errors %}
errors: <ol> {% for field, error in form.error_dict %}<li>{{ field }} <p><strong>{{ error }}</strong></p></li>{% endfor %}</ol>
{% endif %}

That stuff does not properly work as I believe it has to: all rows contains 'p' as 'field' and 'u' as 'error'.
Here's the patch:

Use {% for field, error in form.error_dict.items %}

It's hard to figure out from the current template documentation, sorry :)
Thank you!

I reverted my changes(and svn update) and wrote
for field, error in form.error_dict.items
as you suggested, no success.

Now, I've got python list in error variable:

field: author 
error: [u'\u041e\u0431\u044f\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0435.']

I am django newbie. Do I have to add another inner loop to traverse through all errors or what ? I missed something in documentation, didn't I ?

The error messages for a field are a list, because a single field may have multiple errors associated with it. This is covered in the forms documentation; please consult it for further information.
