Code from the gists for inspection, so you don't have to download random untrusted .py files: test_bug_148_original.py ``` r""" Commands to reproduce: python -m venv test_bug_148 Posix: source test_bug_148/bin.activate.sh Windows:...

There's no simple functionality in Jinja2 to base this on. ``` >>> import jinja2 >>> t = jinja2.Template(' context.val(: {{context.val}}) is {% if context.val %} truthy {% else %} falsey...
