This is explained in the docs:

If you do not pass in a context, a Context will be created from the
dictionary passed in.
If you do pass in a context, the contents of the dictionary passed in
will be merged in to the context.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/http/shortcuts/#django.shortcuts.render_to_response

Andy,

RequestContext is being passed in so that it become available
to the template, so that it can do things like {% csrf_token %}
which requires access to the session id.

I'm not sure what would happen if a dictionary were passed to
RequestContext as an optional 2nd argument.  I've always
passed the dictionary directly to render_to_response().

Hi,

I've followed some example code which is is follows:

context = RequestContext(request)
context_dict =  {'boldmessage': "I am from the context"}
return render_to_response('rango/index.html',context_dict, context)

Here RequestContext only has the first argument filled i.e. request.

My questions are:

1. Is RequestContext(request) being used in a kind of dummy way to 
suck up the context processors for render_to_response?
2. What would render_to_response be doing if has both context_dict AND 
RequestContext had a second argument?


Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm new to everything python and

known when trying to decide which pack of toilet paper to buy in the 
supermarket.

Why is RequestContext used in this way?

2013-11-15 Thread Andrew Taylor 

Hi,

I've followed some example code which is is follows:

def index(request):
context = RequestContext(request)
context_dict =  {'boldmessage': "I am from the context"}
return render_to_response('rango/index.html',context_dict, context)

Here RequestContext only has the first argument filled i.e. request.

My questions are:

1. Is RequestContext(request) being used in a kind of dummy way to suck up 
the context processors for render_to_response?
2. What would render_to_response be doing if has both context_dict AND 
RequestContext had a second argument?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm new to everything python and 
Dango, and the kind of person who forgets everything they have ever known 
when trying to decide which pack of toilet paper to buy in the supermarket.
