[Python-modules-team] Bug#855829: python-django-tables2: TypeError with TemplateColumn(template_name) with django 1.11

[Neil Williams]

Package: python-django-tables2
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

https://github.com/bradleyayers/django-tables2/issues/422

Reporting here as python-django-tables2 in Debian has a new upstream release
already but this issue should be considered before the django-tables2 package
should be expected to work properly with django 1.11 currently in experimental.

It is possible to use template_code=<string> instead of template_name=<file>
but the point of template_name is to avoid duplicating large strings across
many tables, so this is only suitable as a local debug fix.
