One of the first things that happens within these functions is that all variable names that are referenced within the function which are not defined in some other way (i.e. such as via assignment, module level imports, etc.) are pulled from the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> objectâs dictionary of variables. This is how youâre able to freely reference variable names in a template which automatically correspond to what was passed into the current <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a>.</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>What happens if I reference a variable name that is not in the current context?</strong> - The value you get back is a special value called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code>, or if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">strict_undefined=True</span></code> flag is used a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NameError</span></code> is raised. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> is just a simple global variable with the class <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Undefined" title="mako.runtime.Undefined"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mako.runtime.Undefined</span></code></a>. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> object throws an error when you call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str()</span></code> on it, which is what happens if you try to use it in an expression.</p></li> <li><p><strong>UNDEFINED makes it hard for me to find what name is missing</strong> - An alternative is to specify the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">strict_undefined=True</span></code> to the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>.

Why not just return a blank string?</strong> - Mako tries to stick to the Python philosophy of âexplicit is better than implicitâ. In this case, itâs decided that the template author should be made to specifically handle a missing value rather than experiencing what may be a silent failure. Since <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> is a singleton object just like Pythonâs <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>, you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">is</span></code> operator to check for it:</p> <div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">%</span> <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">someval</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="n">UNDEFINED</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="x"></span> <span class="x"> someval is: no value</span> <span class="cp">%</span> <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="x"></span> <span class="x"> someval is: </span><span class="cp">${</span><span class="n">someval</span><span class="cp">}</span> <span class="cp">%</span><span class="k"> endif</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div> </div> </li> </ul> <p>Another facet of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> is that its dictionary of variables is <strong>immutable</strong>. Whatever is set when <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a> is called is what stays. Of course, since its Python, you can hack around this and change values in the contextâs internal dictionary, but this will probably will not work as well as youâd think. The reason for this is that Mako in many cases creates copies of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> object, which get sent to various elements of the template and inheriting templates used in an execution. So changing the value in your local <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> will not necessarily make that value available in other parts of the templateâs execution. Examples of where Mako creates copies of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> include within top-level def calls from the main body of the template (the context is used to propagate locally assigned variables into the scope of defs; since in the templateâs body they appear as inlined functions, Mako tries to make them act that way), and within an inheritance chain (each template in an inheritance chain has a different notion of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parent</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">next</span></code>, which are all stored in unique <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> instances).</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>So what if I want to set values that are global to everyone within a template request?</strong> - All you have to do is provide a dictionary to your <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> when the template first runs, and everyone can just get/set variables from that. Lets say its called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">attributes</span></code>.</p> <p>Running the template looks like:</p> <div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">output</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">template</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">render</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">attributes</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">{})</span></pre></div> </div> <p>Within a template, just reference the dictionary:</p> <div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span> <span class="n">attributes</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'foo'</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'bar'</span> <span class="cp">%></span><span class="x"></span> <span class="x">'foo' attribute is: </span><span class="cp">${</span><span class="n">attributes</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'foo'</span><span class="p">]</span><span class="cp">}</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div> </div> </li> <li><p><strong>Why canât âattributesâ be a built-in feature of the Context?</strong> - This is an area where Mako is trying to make as few decisions about your application as it possibly can. Perhaps you donât want your templates to use this technique of assigning and sharing data, or perhaps you have a different notion of the names and kinds of data structures that should be passed around. Once again Mako would rather ask the user to be explicit.</p></li> </ul> </div> <div class="section" id="context-methods-and-accessors"> <h3>Context Methods and Accessors<a class="headerlink" href="#context-methods-and-accessors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3> <p>Significant members of <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> include:</p> <ul> <li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">context[key]</span></code> / <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">context.get(key,</span> <span class="pre">default=None)</span></code> - dictionary-like accessors for the context.
