Where is template context processor in Django 1.5?

Question

Is it supposed to be listed in Settings.py automatically or do I have to add it? I am having a ridiculously hard time serving up an image file in development and the docs a

You can check what context processors your app is using by jumping into the django python shell and importing your settings.

$ manage.py shell
> from django.conf import settings
> settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS

If you have not overridden them then the defaults should be rendered.

On static files, check your STATICFILES_DIRS which is where django's development server will look to serve static assets: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATICFILES_DIRS.

I use this in my settings.py:

from os.path import join, abspath
PROJECT_ROOT = abspath(join(dirname(__file__), '..', '..'))
STATICFILES_DIRS = [join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'public'), ]

This won't be the same for you as it will depend on how you layout your project.
