How do I get all the variables defined in a Django template?

Question

I\'m new to Django and I wonder if there is a way to dump all the variables available to a template for debugging purposes. In Python I might use something like locals()<

While the two solutions provided by the other members may get you access to all the variables in a template I thought there had to be an easier way (thanks for your responses, BTW).

Here is a simple way to find all the variables passed to the template.

1. Introduce an error into the template you want to examine. Adding a non-existent tag works.
2. Ensure that debugging is ON.
3. Browse to the page that loads the template. (your site must be running via runserver or some other means).

The debugging output for the template contains a section called "TraceBack". Find the traceback for your view (second entry from the top in my case) and click on "Local vars". And it's all there.
