Could not pass list object into template bottle

I have some problem with bottle template. I can not pass python list to template. My code is below:

@route('/'):
def home():
    return template('home', var=['item1', 'item2'])

And this is home.tpl:

<html>
   <ul>
       #for item in var:
         <li>{{item}}</li>
       #end
   </ul>
</html>

I think it work but exception not defined variable 'item' throwed. Could please tell me where my error?

If you want to iterate through the list in the reverse order, the following template will work.

<html>
     <ul>
         %for i in range(len(var)-1,-1,-1):
             <li>{{var[i]}}</li>
         %end
     </ul>
</html>

The bottle template syntax uses %, not # to mark python(ish) blocks:

<html>
   <ul>
       %for item in var:
         <li>{{item}}</li>
       %end
   </ul>
</html>
