...(the last mail was in the wrong thread)... Salut, is there any way to render a page template file that is located on the hard disk? Code excerpt in a product: def foo(self): pt = PageTemplateFile('show.zpt', _prefix=skins_prefix) print pt # prints <PageTemplateFile at 0x89c5000> return pt() # --> error There is nothing wrong with the page template (actually it doesn't contain any tals just plain text). (The idea behind this is that I want to decide which template to show. So the skins_prefix may change.) But rendering will fail. Thanks a lot, Jens.
