Question

I have a tag that has a variable that is a string with an embeded variable. Is there a better way to evaluate it than:

{% custom_extends  "this_{{is.a.test}}" %}

— backend

string_with_variable = "this_{{is.a.test}}"
result = Template(string_with_variable).render(context)

This works, but i wasn’t sure if there was any lower level function that does the same.

The answer is no. As of right now if you want to resolve/render a string you need to instantiate a Template and call render with your context.

result = Template("this_{{is.a.test}}").render(context)
