[Python] Create a Dict from a Model

2010-02-09T19:20:50-08:00

This is a snippet to create a dict from one of my models.
I think that setting_context could be generated much more easily than what I'm doing here, just from reading about the different list and object comprehension functions, but I don't fully understand how to use them.

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Setting(models.Model):
	description = models.CharField( max_length=256, blank=True )
	name = models.SlugField()
	value = models.CharField( max_length=128 )
	
	def get_context():
		settings = Setting.objects.all()
		settings = list(settings)
		setting_context = {}
		for setting in settings:
			setting_context[setting.name] = setting.value
		return setting_context
