How do I get all the variables defined in a Django template?

Question

I\'m new to Django and I wonder if there is a way to dump all the variables available to a template for debugging purposes. In Python I might use something like locals()<

Both Ned's and blaine's answers are good, but if you really want to achieve exactly what you ask for there's a template tag for it:

{% debug %}

Builtins:debug

More information in the context_processor.debug including:

If this processor is enabled, every RequestContext will contain debug and and sql_queries variables – but only if your DEBUG setting is set to True and the request’s IP address (request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']) is in the INTERNAL_IPS setting

Similar to Peter G suggestion, I often use a

{% debug|escape %}

block at the end of the page that has display:none but that I can inspect to debug.
