Actually, I tried py:layout first because it looked more appropriate for my case. But I failed get it to work: 1. TG do not detect changes in layout.kid and do not reload it 2. can't put non-ascii string in layout_params global 3. base layout not sees "outer" variables passed to page.kid 4. somehow it didn't work So I scraped it and rewritten using py:match. As it turns out problems 1 and 3 didn't go but I only figured out a bit later. It was exhausting long-day dev session and I did not keep the layout-based version to show, sorry. > > There is master.kid which contains py:match elements for menu, header, > > footer and there > is page.kid itself that contains main content.

If no, how you're supposed to deal with such situations? Well, I kinda figured it out. I'm using TurboGears so I just put my vars in stdvars namespace and which made them automagically available through tg variable. > Could you provide a short example that reproduces the problem? I tried to extract a sample which used master/page templates with a variable but it does work fine. 8-/ Anyway, my problem now solved, sorry for the fuzz. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
