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

Here's the general case for anyone wanting to use the namespace() object to have a variable persist outside of a for loop.

{% set accumulator = namespace(total=0) %}
{% for i in range(0,3) %}
    {% set accumulator.total = i + accumulator.total %}
    {{accumulator.total}}
 {% endfor %}`          {# 0 1 3 #}
 {{accumulator.total}}  {# 3 (accumulator.total persisted past the end of the loop) #}
