Why doesn't my condition logic work as expected in Jinja2/CherryPy?

Question

{% if bCat2 == True %}
    
True
{% else %}
    
False

Returns

False

Answer 1

I would like to add that if your logic is a bit more complex you might want to read about scopes.

As mentioned in official documentation:

As of version 2.10 more complex use cases can be handled using namespace objects which allow propagating of changes across scopes:

{% set ns = namespace(found=false) %}
{% for item in items %}
    {% if item.check_something() %}
        {% set ns.found = true %}
    {% endif %}
    * {{ item.title }}
{% endfor %}
Found item having something: {{ ns.found }}
