[Zope] Arrg! dtml-in can't handle lists of pairs!

[Luis Cortes]

I have confirmed that this is strange behavior can be reproduced on 2.1.6 --
why I don't know.  A work around may be to convert your tuples to lists (easy to
do in python)  sample working code:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>


<h4>Iterate over 3.tuples</h4>
<dtml-let list="[('a','b','c'),('d','e','f')]">
<dtml-in list>
	<dtml-var sequence-item><br>
	<dtml-in sequence-item>
		<dtml-var sequence-item></br>
	</dtml-in>                 
</dtml-in>
</dtml-let>

<h4>Iterate Over 2-tuples</h4>

<!---- My change here ------>
<dtml-let list="[['a','b'],['c','d']]">
<dtml-var list><br>
<dtml-in list>
	<dtml-var sequence-item><br>
	<dtml-try>

	<dtml-in sequence-item>
		<dtml-var sequence-item></br>
	</dtml-in>

	<dtml-except>
		<h4>Why can't I do this!</h4>
	</dtml-try>        
</dtml-in>
</dtml-let>

<h4>Iterate Over 1-tuples</h4>
<dtml-let list="[('a',),('b',)]">
<dtml-in list>
	<dtml-var sequence-item><br>
	<dtml-in sequence-item>
		<dtml-var sequence-item></br>	
	</dtml-in>                 
</dtml-in>
</dtml-let>


<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
