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 Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
