Description

Creating a new project with SVN HEAD does not set the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in the settings.py file.

Don't know whether this is a bug or a feature.

Seen here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#subclassing-context-requestcontext

The documentation says that TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS is a setting, which is correct. It doesn't say that the setting will necessarily be part of your project's settings file.

Settings are a combination of Django's global settings and your particular settings file (which may or may not be settings.py).

The documentation does state that there is a non-empty default value for this setting:

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

Here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext

and here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/settings/#template-context-processors

Isn't this wrong? I don't see any context processors in my settings.py files.

All of the built-in settings have global defaults, which are the effective value of the setting if the setting doesn't appear in your own settings file. TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS does have the default value that it is documented to have, if that value isn't overridden in your own settings file.
