Pagination doesn't accept dict as data - unhashable type

django, django-pagination, django-views, python, python-2.x

Solution

Use `tuple` instead `dict`, like this:

# convert `dict` to `tuple`:
prodmatrix = tuple(prodmatrix)
paginator = Paginator(prodmatrix, 2)
# or this
paginator = Paginator(prodmatrix.items(), 2)

page = request.GET.get('page')
try:
    prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
    prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
    prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(paginator.num_page)
return render(request, 'home.html',{'prodmatrix2':prodmatrix})

And in you template, you need call the attrs and method by index of tuple (key=0, value=1)

Problem

I'm trying to use Django pagination Pagination Docs. But I'm receiving this error: ``` TypeError at / unhashable type ``` Which is basically because I'm using a dictionary as my object and not a queryset. I would like to know if there is a way to turn my dictionary a hashable object. This is my dict in template: ``` {% for key, values in prodmatrix.items %} <li class="span3"> <div class="product-box"> <span class="sale_tag"></span> <p><a href="{% url 'product_detail' slug=values.3.0 %}"><img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}{{values.1.0}}" alt="" /></a></p> <a href="{% url 'product_detail' slug=values.3.0 %}" class="title"><h4>{{ values.0.0 }}</h4></a><br/> <p class="category"><a href="{% url 'product_detail' slug=values.3.0 %}">{{values.2.}} {{values.2.1}} {{values.2.2}}</a></p> </div> </li> {% endfor %} ``` This is my view: ``` def home(request): if request.user.is_authenticated(): print "login" user = request.user prods = Product.objects.all() i = 0 print 'numero de produtos ' + str(len(prods)) prodmatrix = {} for prod in prods: # 0 1 2 3 prodmatrix[str(i)] = [[prod.name], [prod.image], [], [prod.slug]] reviews = Review.objects.filter(product=prod.id) # ^ this is for tags print str(len(reviews)) if len(reviews) != 0: for review in reviews: rev_alltags = review.tag.all() for tags in rev_alltags[:3]: # print tags.name prodmatrix[str(i)][2].append(tags.name) # append only tags print str(i) i = i + 1 paginator = Paginator(prodmatrix, 2) page = request.GET.get('page') try: prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(page) except PageNotAnInteger: prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(1) except EmptyPage: prodmatrix2 = paginator.page(paginator.num_page) return render(request, 'home.html',{'prodmatrix2':prodmatrix}) ```
