'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute

If I make a context processor like this:

def add_external(request):
    context = {"stext":"this is the info"}
    return context

and add this to the settings:

'OPTIONS': {
    'context_processors': [
        'django.template.context_processors.debug',
        'django.template.context_processors.request',
        'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
        'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        'website.context_processor.add_external',
    ],

I can access the variable in the template via {{stext}}. When I now jump from a link in this template into another view in the same app shouldn't I be able to access this variable as:

request.stext

Instead I get this error:

'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'stext'

What I am missing here?

You implemented context processor, which data are available only inside of templates, but not the request object.

You may want to use custom request middleware.
