Access request object in a custom template tag

Hello,

I am currently writing a custom template tag and I need to access the request object within the tag code.

When using tag helpers (simple_tag, inclusion_tag and assignment_tag) you can register them with an additional takes_context=True parameter that makes the request object available.

But this does not work with the low level tag decorator:

@register.tag(takes_context=True)  def mytag(parser, token):     ...

raises the exception:  tag() got an unexpected keyword argument 'takes_context'

2 questions :

- is there a reason why the tag decorator does accept the takes_context argument ?

- how can I access the template context with this decorator (and thus the request object) ?

Thanks a lot.
