django.template

package documentation

Django's support for templates.

The django.template namespace contains two independent subsystems:

  1. Multiple Template Engines: support for pluggable template backends, built-in backends and backend-independent APIs
  2. Django Template Language: Django's own template engine, including its built-in loaders, context processors, tags and filters.

Ideally these subsystems would be implemented in distinct packages. However keeping them together made the implementation of Multiple Template Engines less disruptive .

Here's a breakdown of which modules belong to which subsystem.

Multiple Template Engines:

  • django.template.backends.*
  • django.template.loader
  • django.template.response

Django Template Language:

  • django.template.base
  • django.template.context
  • django.template.context_processors
  • django.template.loaders.*
  • django.template.debug
  • django.template.defaultfilters
  • django.template.defaulttags
  • django.template.engine
  • django.template.loader_tags
  • django.template.smartif

Shared:

  • django.template.utils

Module response Undocumented
Module autoreload Undocumented
Module context No module docstring; 0/1 variable, 1/1 function, 4/6 classes documented
Module defaulttags Default tags used by the template system, available to all templates.
Module engine Undocumented
Module exceptions No summary
Module library No module docstring; 2/2 functions, 2/5 classes documented
Module loader​_tags No module docstring; 0/1 variable, 0/1 constant, 4/4 functions, 0/4 class documented
