SOLVED (sort of).

This made perfect sense after I realized that I was looking at a list
of objects and not just the email string returned from the model. But,
it didn't work.

I thought about this but I also need to see if the manager status has
expired. So I solved it in this way, though it may not be the most
efficient.

The view now creates an actual list of email addresses of users with
active manager status.

class IndexView(TemplateView):

template_name = 'index.html'

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
mlist = []
for x in Manager.objects.all():
if x.expires >= now():
print(x.expires)
mlist.append(x.user.email)
context['mgr_list'] = mlist
return context


Is there a better way? Will this be particularly slow if I have 1,000 managers?

Thanks,
Tim
