Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

This should help you out with adding extra context to TemplateView

I'm using a generic TemplateView (django-1.4), but I want to be able
to add something to the context. Is that possible?

The docs at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/generic-views/#adding-extra-context
talk about "an extra optional parameter, extra_context", but I don't
get what they're trying to explain. I tried the obvious:

url(r'^about$',
TemplateView.as_view(template_name='legal_ipsum/about.html',
extra_context={'pagename': 'about'})
),

in my urls.py file, but that just raises: "TemplateView() received an
invalid keyword 'extra_context'". What am I missing here?
