I'm guessing (since you don't give any details of how "doesn't work"
manifests itself) that the problem is not the dictionary you pass to
render_to_response, but rather that you are throwing away the return value
of render_to_response. It returns an HttpResposne, which is what your view
function needs to return. Assuming that last line is the last line of your
view function, it should be:
names = {}
names['my_name'] = "somename"
return render_to_response('template.html', names)

render_to_response syntax
render_to_response('template', *args, **kwargs):
kwargs looks like a dictionary but if I refer to a dictionary, it is
ignored:
In
names = {}
names['my_name'] = "somename"
render_to_response('template.html', names)
names is equivalent to {'my_name': 'somename'}, so I would expect the
render_to_response to work - but it doesn't: why?
