Hi,

I'm am new to django and am workng through the OverIQ tutoiral at : https://overiq.com/django/1.10/loading-templates-in-django

I have followed the instructions to the letter but am getting the typeerror every time (see subject).

Heres is my views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django import template

import datetime

def index(request):

return HttpResponse("Hello Django")

def today_is(request):

now = datetime.datetime.now()

t = template.loader.get_template('blog/datetime.html')

c = template.Context({'now': now})

html = t.render(c)

return HttpResponse(html)

and here is my template:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Current Time</title>

</head>

<body>

{#This is a comment #}

{check the existence of now variable in the template using if tag #}

{% if now %}

<p>Current date and time is {{ now }}</p>

{% else %}

<p>now variable is not available</p>

{% endif %}

</body>

</html>

Any help would be aprreciated.

Thanks

c = template.Context({'now': now})

html = t.render(c) # Just pass {'now': now} instead of c
