I am using Django's template inheritance from a base file called base.html.
All of my apps, except one, require that {% block contents %} {% endblock %} is present in that file, which is problematic.
I am trying to find away to make the inclusion {% block contents %} {% endblock %} conditional on a variable.
What I have so far tried in base.html:
{% if some_variable %}
{% block contents %} {% endblock %}
{% endif %}
But that doesn't seem to work.
I have also tried:
{% if some_variable %}
{% with 'base_block_content.html' as path %}
{% include path %}
{% endwith %}
{% endif %}
base_block_content.html being simply:
''' {% block contents %} {% endblock %} '''
But that doesn't work either.
My only other option is to write a completely separate base.html for the one app, which doesn't quite fit in with the 'DRY' concept.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this?

{% block dynamic-block %}
{% if some_variable %}
{% include 'path/index.html' %}
{% endif %}
{% endblock dynamic-lock %}
