#35735: For python 3.10+ class property may not be accessible by Django's
template
system

Prior to python 3.10 class properties were always available through the
template system. If you had a class
{{{
class MyClass:
in_template = True
}}}
you could access the class property in the template through {{
context_value.in_template }}.
The template system first checks if the class is subscriptable (i.e. tries
context_value["in_template"]), will fail with that and then will get the
in_template property.
As of Python 3.10 some classes actually are subscriptable and trying to
get the item will not fail: Typing shortcuts introduced syntax like
`list[int]`. This effectively hides class properties from the template
system.
Here's a test (that might go into
tests/template_tests/syntax_tests/tests_basic.py) which passes on Python
3.9 and fails on Python 3.10+:
{{{
@setup({"basic-syntax19b": "{{ dict.klass.in_template }}"})
def test_access_class_property(self):
class MyClass(list):
in_template = True
def __init__(self, non_trivial_init):
# This prevents the template system from turning the class
into an instance
return super().__init__()
output = self.engine.render_to_string("basic-syntax19b", {"dict":
dict(klass=MyClass)})
self.assertEqual(output, "True")
}}}
I'd be happy to propose a fix.
