This is an extension of the snippet http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1302/ to make it a bit more flexible and been able pass more than one parameter to our "Partial Template". To use it you can

{% partial_template template_name param1:variable1 param2:variable2 ... %}

or:

{% partial_template partials/mini_template.html item:data1 var2:"False" var3:"2*2" %}

templates are supposed to be safe. so don't use eval(v[1:-1])

second, why not add parent content to partial by default?
