pgettext in jinja2 django templates

Question

I have configured the Jinja environment with env.install_gettext_translations(translation, newstyle=True) and the jinja2.ext.i18n extension. I can only use the _() , _gettext() and ngettext() functions in my jinja2 templates.

I want to use pgettext() ( django docs ) as well to add a context to the translatable strings. Is there an extension that does this, or am I missing something?

update : I have posted a feature request #793 . I would still like to know whether there is an answer that can be used right now.

I don't believe that what you want exists in Jinja... (at least for now)
If you take a look at this issue the developer pretty much states that he won't do it:

This would require patches as I'm not using pgettext myself.

Then he closed the issue.
This was created back in 2014 and something may have changed but I don't think so (based on another issue ).

By searching a bit around I found this project which may help: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jinja2-django-tags/0.1 . There I read:

You can also use _, gettext and pgettext directly:

 Simple example: {{ _('Hello World') }} More verbose: {{ gettext('Hello World') }} With context: {{ pgettext('Hello World', 'another example') }} 

Good luck :)
