context_processors.settings returns empty context

[raphaelyancey]

I'm having a hard time debugging the settings context processor.

As you can see in the code below, I can access a registrered setting but somehow they're not included in the context, and I cannot print them in the context processor itself.

def settings(request=None):
    """
    Add the settings object to the template context.
    """
    from mezzanine.conf import settings

    allowed_settings = settings.TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS
    template_settings = TemplateSettings(settings, allowed_settings)
    template_settings.update(DEPRECATED)

    print(settings.TEMPLATE_ACCESSIBLE_SETTINGS)  # (... 'REPOSITORY_LATEST_COMMITS_LIMIT', ...)
    print(template_settings.REPOSITORY_LATEST_COMMITS_LIMIT)  # 4 (its value)
    print(dict(template_settings))  # {} <-- the problem

    # This is basically the same as the old ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting,
    # we just use it in a few spots in the admin to optionally load a
    # file from either grappelli or Django admin if grappelli isn't
    # installed. We don't call it ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX in order to avoid
    # any confusion.
    admin_prefix = "grappelli/" if settings.GRAPPELLI_INSTALLED else "admin/"
    template_settings["MEZZANINE_ADMIN_PREFIX"] = admin_prefix

    return {"settings": template_settings}  # {'settings': {'MEZZANINE_ADMIN_PREFIX': 'grappelli/'}}

How is that even possible?
