Well, I was thinking about the view because in grok.View all  the
namespace setup is done in the render_template method and it is
explicitly doing that calling the page template. Also, by subclassing
from megrok.buffet.View would be convenient so you continue to use the
usual way to create views.

>From the code:

def _render_template(self):
        namespace = self.template.pt_getContext()
        namespace['request'] = self.request
        namespace['view'] = self
        namespace['context'] = self.context
        # XXX need to check whether we really want to put None here if missing
        namespace['static'] = self.static
        return self.template.pt_render(namespace)

I assume self.template.pt_render(namespace) will render a zpt and I
was not planning to get all the zpt stuff adapted so pt_render knows
exactly what  engine to use.
Since it is a simple extension, I thought getting it in the view would
be easier/lazy way of doing this.

Fernando
