| | | When a template is rendered using |
| | | :func:`~pyramid.renderers.render_to_response` or |
| | | :func:`~pyramid.renderers.render`, the renderer representing the |
| | | template will be provided with a number of *system* values. These |
| | | values are provided in a dictionary to the renderer and include: |
| | | |
| | | ``context`` |
| | | The current :app:`Pyramid` context if ``request`` was provided as |
| | | a keyword argument, or ``None``. |
| | | :func:`~pyramid.renderers.render`, or a ``renderer=`` argument to view |
| | | configuration (see :ref:`templates_used_as_renderers`), the renderer |
| | | representing the template will be provided with a number of *system* values. |
| | | These values are provided to the template: |
| | | |
| | | ``request`` |
| | | The request provided as a keyword argument. |
| | | The value provided as the ``request`` keyword argument to |
| | | ``render_to_response`` or ``render`` *or* the request object passed to the |
| | | view when the ``renderer=`` argument to view configuration is being used to |
| | | render the template. |
| | | |
| | | ``req`` |
| | | An alias for ``request``. |
| | | |
| | | ``context`` |
| | | The current :app:`Pyramid` :term:`context` if ``request`` was provided as a |
| | | keyword argument to ``render_to_response`` or ``render``, or ``None`` if |
| | | the ``request`` keyword argument was not provided. This value will always |
| | | be provided if the template is rendered as the result of a ``renderer=`` |
| | | argument to view configuration being used. |
| | | |
| | | ``renderer_name`` |
| | | The renderer name used to perform the rendering, |
| | |
| | | |
| | | ``renderer_info`` |
| | | An object implementing the :class:`pyramid.interfaces.IRendererInfo` |
| | | interface. Basically, an object with the following attributes: |
| | | ``name``, ``package`` and ``type``. |

| | | ``package`` and ``type``. |
| | | |
| | | You can define more values which will be passed to every template |
| | | executed as a result of rendering by defining :term:`renderer |
| | | globals`. |
| | | ``view`` |
| | | The view callable object that was used to render this template. If the |
| | | view callable is a method of a class-based view, this will be an instance |
| | | of the class that the method was defined on. If the view callable is a |
| | | function or instance, it will be that function or instance. Note that this |
| | | value will only be automatically present when a template is rendered as a |
| | | result of a ``renderer=`` argument; it will be ``None`` when the |
| | | ``render_to_response`` or ``render`` APIs are used. |

| | | |
| | | What any particular renderer does with these system values is up to the |
| | | renderer itself, but most template renderers, including Chameleon and |
| | | Mako renderers, make these names available as top-level template |
| | | variables. |
