This is now obsolete. You only need to import RequestContext in your views:

from django.templates import RequestContext

And then add a context_instance to your render_to_response, like so:

return render_to_response('main/main.html', {"variable": 0}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

You can now access the media url anywhere with {{ MEDIA_URL }}
