18105	Investigate possible misuse of Context	Aymeric Augustin	nobody	"This was reported [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17229#comment:20 in the comments of #17229], but I'm moving it to its own ticket for clarity.

----

Changeset r17894 produced several errors in the Django test suite. In fact, it reveals issues where Context instances are initialized with a Context argument instead of a simple dict.[[BR]]
Examples:
 * In browser:django/trunk/django/contrib/auth/tests/urls.py, several render_to_response calls have the Context instance as second argument, which seems to be plain bugs (uncaught until now)
 * In browser:django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/templatetags/admin_modify.py, the prepopulated_fields_js inclusion tag returns a Context instance instead of a dict.

The question is now whether Context initialization should accept other Context instance as the `__init__` dict_ parameter (and then this changeset should be fixed) or if we should enforce dict_ as a dict and fix places in Django code when it is not the case. I'd be in favour of the latter, but this might need some more investigation."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Template system	1.4	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
