Did you import ‘env’?
And why you wrote that in the __init__.py? You should keep this file as small as possible.

Actually, that line’s in there. It’s in my __init__.py under the libs folder in my project.

Maybe you missed this line, Mike:
env = Environment(extensions=global_exts, loader=ChoiceLoader(loader_array))

Thats the definition of ‘env’. Missing this would case your error.

When using the the code you provided above, I run into the error:

global name ‘env’ is not defined.

Anything you can think of that would cause this error?

Thanks, i’ve seeked for this two lines to use jinja2 with django:

from django.utils import translation

env.install_gettext_translations(translation)

Hi,

Last line of the last code snippet is wrong.

I think it should be:
return ‘index.html’,{‘test’:’some context test’}
