Disable django context processor in django-admin pages

Question

How can I exclude Django django-admin pages for my custom templates context processor?

Answer 1

Following up on Dhiraj’s answer, which works if your system uses the default (English/non-translated) URLs, and for the sake of those us who do use localised URLs, I found the following snippet to do the trick in the easiest manner (relevant to Django 1.10 and later, not tested on earlier versions).

from django.urls import reverse
if request.path.startswith(reverse('admin:index')):
    return {}
else:
    # do stuff relevant to non-admin pages
