title: How to carry context when extending Django Templates?
body: <p>I am trying to carry a list to an base html through a derived template which simply doesn't work:</p>
  
  <p>[views.py]:</p>
  
  <pre><code>context={'myList':someValue,}
  render_to_response('derived.htm'),context_instance=RequestContext(request,context))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>[derived.html]:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% extends "base.html" %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>[base.html]:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% for item in myList %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So when I call the render_to_response to the base template, my_list is there but when I try to do it through the extended one, it doesn't work. Any suggestions?</p>
