Re: context must be a dict rather than Context.

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

I hope that makes sense.

Regards,
Constantine C.

Hi,

Im a new user going through this tutorial at OverIQ : https://overiq.com/django/1.10/loading-templates-in-django

I've followed the instructions to the letter but it keep throwing the Typeerror you see in the subject.

Here is a copy paist of my views :

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django import template
import datetime
    
def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello Django")

def today_is(request):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    t = template.loader.get_template('blog/datetime.html')
    c = template.Context({'now': now})
    html = t.render(c)
    return HttpResponse(html)

and here is a copy paist of my template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Current Time</title>
</head>
<body>

{#This is a comment #}
{check the existence of now variable in the template using if tag #}
{% if now %}
<p>Current date and time is {{ now }}</p>
{% else %}
<p>now variable is not available</p>
{% endif %}

</body>
</html>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Allon
