Using the same template name multiple times with Flask and Jinja2












0















I have a Flask project with the following structure:



├── config.py
├── errors
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── handlers.py
│   └── templates
│   ├── errors
│   │   ├── 403.html
│   │   ├── 404.html
│   │   └── 500.html
│   └── default_layout.html
├── home
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── routes.py
│   └── templates
│   ├── about
│   │   └── general.html
│   └── default_layout.html
├── static
│   └── style.css
└── templates
└── default_layout.html


My app contains two blueprints: errors and home.



Is there a way for template files in my blueprints to extend multiple template files with the same filename? I have the following which results in an exception:



1) app/errors/templates/errors/403.html:



{% extends 'default_layout.html' %}
{% block error_content %}
<div class="content-section">
<h1>404 error</h1>
<p>{{ error }}</p>
</div>
{% endblock error_content %}


2) app/errors/templates/default_layout.html:



{% extends 'default_layout.html' %}
{% block content %}
<div class="content-section">
<h1>NESTED BLOCK</h1>
{% block error_content %}{% endblock %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}


3) app/templates/default_layer.html:



{% block content %}{% endblock %}


I want the default_layout.html referenced in 1) to refer to 2) and the default_layout.html referenced in 2) to refer to 3).
