This module has two template filters allowing you to dump any template variable. Special handling for object instances. Pretty output.

Usage: {% load dumper %} ... <pre>{{ var|rawdump }}</pre> or {% load dumper %} ... {{ var2|dump }}

How to install: As usual, put into <your-proj>/<any-app>/templatetags/dumper.py.

Nice snippet - only change I would add is a check in to ensure that TEMPLATE_DEBUG is True
