Comma separated lists in django templates

Question

If fruits is the list [\'apples\', \'oranges\', \'pears\'],

is there a quick way using django template tags to produce \"apples, oranges, and p

Answer 1

I would suggest a custom django templating filter rather than a custom tag -- filter is handier and simpler (where appropriate, like here). {{ fruits | joinby:", " }} looks like what I'd want to have for the purpose... with a custom joinby filter:

def joinby(value, arg):
    return arg.join(value)

which as you see is simplicity itself!
