title: django-tables2: how to pass other object instance to the template besides the one we use for the table
body: <p>I created a table using django-tables2 and everything is working fince except that I want to add other instances or variable to the url template.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my view:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def SpecificPLayer(request, playerslug):
  
      player = Player_Bios.objects.get(player_id=playerslug)
      table= StatTable(BatStat.objects.filter(player_id=playerslug).values('season','team_id'))
      RequestConfig(request, paginate=False).configure(table)
  
      return render(request, 'singleplayer.html', {'table': table})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What about if I want to pass the following to the template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>today = date.today() 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My common sense told me to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> return render(request, 'singleplayer.html','today':taday {'table': table}) #does not work
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on my singleplayer.html, I have the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  {{ today }}
  </code></pre>
