Hi Al,
I believe that an error you mentioned is thrown from line:
html = t.render(c)
As said in the error: context must be a dict
So just change
c = template.Context({'now': now})
to be
c = {'now': now}
For more information please check that documentation page
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/templates/#django.template.backends.base.Template.render>
I hope that makes sense.
Regards,
Constantine C.
