Override the Context.derived method?

[mkrizek]

In our codebase we have overridden the new_context method on the Template class. I noticed Context.derived uses the builtin Jinja new_context function (which Template.new_context() delegates its work to):

jinja/src/jinja2/runtime.py

Line 91 in 9dad679

def new_context(

jinja/src/jinja2/runtime.py

Lines 308 to 318 in 9dad679

	def derived(self, locals: t.Optional[t.Dict[str, t.Any]] = None) -> "Context":
	"""Internal helper function to create a derived context. This is
	used in situations where the system needs a new context in the same
	template that is independent.
	"""
	context = new_context(
	self.environment, self.name, {}, self.get_all(), True, None, locals
	)
	context.eval_ctx = self.eval_ctx
	context.blocks.update((k, list(v)) for k, v in self.blocks.items())
	return context

We would like to use the custom new_context function/method in Context.derived as well. The first thing that comes to mind is to override the derived method but although it is not mark as a private method, its docstring says Internal helper function.

Is it safe to override Context.derived? What is the recommended way to achieve this?

Thanks!
