i have a python script that ends with return getattr(context, 'a_page_template', None).render() this works like a charm, rendering the page template and outputting it as if the python script produced it. however, i am not sure how i can pass some information (e.g. a username) to the page template. so far i have been using the REQUEST object, but that's an ugly hack, and it also doesn't work (see previous post), so i'd like to do it right. how? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://madduck.net/me/gpg/publickey "when faced with a new problem, the wise algorithmist will first attempt to classify it as np-complete. this will avoid many tears and tantrums as algorithm after algorithm fails." -- g. niruta
