That's good :-) I probably won't continue with the design discussion past this email, because I don't think we will reach a conclusion which convinces the Django core team to change the design. > My buddies have given PHP and Rails examples, but there are other > frameworks from other languages that do that the same way. I'm not personally aware of them, but I believe you. If this behavior ever becomes part of an accepted RFC, I'm sure Django will implement it in core :-) > I mean, > what's the advantage here doing differently from others? I already tried to explain that: simple, predictable behavior that exposes the underlying querystring data directly to the user, with no munging of values which might be unexpected by some users. Django provides the simple, predictable basic behavior. If you want this extended special behavior, it's easy to implement it on top of what Django provides. > And I don't agree it follows KISS if I need to re-iterate on the result > again to get a dict from it (one clear example usage is destructuring as > named function parameters). If you just want a dict, you don't need to iterate, you can just use the .dict() method (or other options already explained earlier in this thread). If you want a dict interpretation of the querystring *that handles keys with brackets in their names in a special way*, then yes, you have to implement that yourself. It wouldn't be hard to implement, and then that code could be shared by all who want it. Carl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
