The current get_default() behaviour was only added to allow folks manually creating `Template("My String")` instances to continue to operate with multiple Django backends defined (#27359) — the initial assumption there was that anonymous backend usage wouldn't be supported, i.e. that folks would do `engines["django"]` to get a specific backend. Could you use that?
Yeah, that works! Thank you for the hint. The docs mention this functionality with the wrong wording, which is why I was not aware of this functionality:
Template engines are available in django.template.engines: from django.template import enginesdjango_engine = engines['django']template = django_engine.from_string("Hello {{ name }}!")
-- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/templates/#django.template.loader.engines This is not accurate: `engines` ironically holds the template backends, not the engines, and each engine can be retrieved by calling .engine (such as engines['django'].engine). In general, the docs are very inconsistent in this regard and use the terms "backend" and "engine" pretty much interchangeably. The code is naturally more strict, but the iterable holding the backends nevertheless is called `engines`. If people feel this is a correct assessment, I can try improving on the wording.
