Pass list of links to Django Template

I have a list of urls that I have imported in my settings.py file via:

from myproject.image_folders_link import Links

Now my image_folders_link contains the following constants:

MY_image_doctors_link = "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/doctors"

MY_image_patients_link = "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/patients"

Now I want to use it in my Django template. How I can pass this?

If you want a set of constants available in all of your template, you should write a "context processor".

I don't really understand what variables you are trying to add, but in general you create a new file in one of your apps called context_processors.py: 

from myproject.image_folders_link import Links

def template_links(request):
    return {
        "MY_image_doctors_link": "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/doctors",
        ...
    }

Now add it to the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting in your settings.py:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
...
'myapp.context_processors.template_links',
)

and you can call those variables in all your templates: 

{{ MY_image_doctors_link }}
