In mako, display a python dict element only if it exists

Question

I'd like to display an error from my python dict "errors" only if it exists.

% if c.errors.email:
<div class="hint_error">${c.errors.email}</div>
% endif

But I keep getting the error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'email'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I think you mean to start with % if 'email' in c.errors:.

Answer 2

I think you mean to start with % if 'email' in c.errors:.
