how to create the correct context in Django

Question

from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):
  context = {
    'title' : 'test'

  }
    return render(request,'index.html',context)

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

`context` should be a `dict`; please read about Python `dict` first. — heemayl, Nov 09 '19 at 09:46

Django's context data are just simple python dictionaries.

So you should define them like this:

context = {
    'first_key': first_value,
    'second_key': second_value,
}

Edit (as you change the question and error):

You should use tabs, or spaces, not both mixed together...

As I mentioned in the answer, when you indent the code, you should use either tabs, or spaces. If you mix both, you will get this error. – Pedram Parsian Nov 09 '19 at 09:59
prefer tabs or spaces dude? – halo Nov 09 '19 at 10:04
Spaces, as PEP8 recommends, but you can set your editor's setting so that it automatically change tabs to spaces. – Pedram Parsian Nov 09 '19 at 10:08
Please also mark the answer as accepted if that solves the issue, or let me know if you have any further issues. – Pedram Parsian Nov 09 '19 at 10:27
