Django with Jinja2 - using custom context processors

Question

I am using Jinja2 as my template system. I have created a jinja2.py file and set environment to use custom template filters, etc. But i don't know how to set custom_processor via jinja2?

def environment(**options):
    env = Environment(**options)

    env.filters['datetime'] = format_datetime

    env.globals.update({
        'static': staticfiles_storage.url,
        'url': reverse,
        'thumbnail': thumbnail,
        'customimagecrop':customimagecrop,

    })
    return env

Thanks

The Jinja2 backend does not support context processors. See this ticket (warning - it's a long read). You could try django-jinja, which does support context processors.

Thank you i would use it for memcached but i have read that there is no need with jinja2. What do you think?

I'm not sure what you mean by using a context processor for memcached.

I was doing the caching ( via memcached ) inside a custom context_processor... ( workCategories = cache.get(cache_key_workcategories) )

I'm not sure why the choice of template language should affect whether or not you use caching.

I don't think that's relevant - those docs are about switching from Jinja1 to Jinja2, and it's talking about caching templates, not caching template variables.
