Why can't templates access properties

[Ram Rachum]

Hi,

I noticed that when I use variables in Django templates that access object properties, it doesn't work. (e.g. I have {{ foo.bar }} while bar is a Python property.)

See the documentation for variables in Django templates:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/language/#variables

It indeed doesn't mention properties.

Why should properties not work through template? I can't think of a good reason. 

Thanks,

Ram.

Accessing properties in templates should work as far as I know. Maybe there is an error in your application.

I found the cause of my problem: `django.db.models.Manager.from_queryset` copies all the methods from the `QuerySet` class to the `Manager` class, but it doesn't copy the properties.

What do you think about opening an issue for making `django.db.models.Manager.from_queryset` copy over properties as well?

Feel free to open a ticket, as it will give a place to retain the discussion.

Perhaps start with the use case for having additional properties on a QuerySet :)
