Q: 

How do I list all available context variables?

I'm new to django templates, and I'm trying to tweak the admin interface. Right now I'm editing tabular.html in order to control how inlines are displayed. However, I have no idea what variables are available via the context the admin app sends to this template. Is there any quick way to see all variables available?

I know it is possible to use assert False in a .py-file, is there some equivalent in a template file?

A: 

Use the Django debug toolbar - it includes a panel that shows the context of all templates used to render the current page.

Hmm, I downloaded and installed the debug toolbar from http://github.com/dcramer/django-debug-toolbar, but I cannot seem to find the context variables. Any idea? I followed their install instructions exactly.
