Comment:
Unfortunately it looks like a limitation of Jinja2 itself:
{{{#!python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from jinja2 import Environment
>>> env = Environment()
>>> template = env.from_string('{{ self }}')
>>> template.render({'self': 'Self!'})
u'<TemplateReference None>'
}}}
I think the `TypeError` raised here makes more sense here than silently
ignoring the provided `self` context variable.
Attaching a test case leading to this conclusion.
