List rendering does not work with view objects

[bugadani]

I'm trying to use chevron in my project, where I was previously using pystache. Pystache was really flexible in what I could pass to it, and it would treat anything as a list, that can be iterated on. While changing to chevron, however, I found that I have to wrap a lot of stuff with list(), mostly dict .keys()/.values() views.

Minimal repro from pyhon console:

import chevron

ctx = {'template': '{{#list}}{{.}}{{/list}}', 'data':{'list': {'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'foobar'}.values()}}
chevron.render(**ctx)
"dict_values(['bar', 'foobar'])"

ctx = {'template': '{{#list}}{{.}}{{/list}}', 'data':{'list': list({'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'foobar'}.values())}}
chevron.render(**ctx)
'barfoobar'

I'm using Python 3.7.3

List rendering does not seem to work at all (at least in Python 3.9.5):

import chevron
import pystache

data = {
    'members': [
        { 'name': 'M1' },
        { 'name': 'M2' },
        { 'name': 'M3' },
    ]
}

tmpl = '''
{{ #members }}
 - {{ name }}
{{ /members }}
'''

print('PyStache', pystache.render(tmpl, data))
print('Chevron', chevron.render(tmpl, data))

This results in

PyStache 
 - M1
 - M2
 - M3

Chevron 

 - 

The PyStache output is what I would expect.
