Can a Jinja variable's scope extend beyond in an inner block?

Question

I have the following Jinja template:

{% set mybool = False %}
{% for thing in things %}
    

        

            {%          


        
      

Answer 1

You can solve your problem using this hack (without extensions):

import jinja2

env = jinja2.Environment()
print env.from_string("""
{% set mybool = [False] %}
{% for thing in things %}
    

        

            {% if current_user %}
              {% if current_user.username == thing['created_by']['username'] %}
                {% set _ = mybool.append(not mybool.pop()) %}
                
mybool: {{ mybool[0] }}
 
                
Edit
              {% endif %}
            {% endif %}
            
Flag
        
    
    

{% endfor %}

{% if not mybool[0] %}
    
    
mybool is false!
{% else %}
  
mybool is true!
{% endif %}
""").render(current_user={'username':'me'},things=[{'created_by':{'username':'me'}},{'created_by':{'username':'you'}}])
