Re: Absolute path for static assets/ Get file modified time

2011-11-16 Thread Michael Merickel 
You will need to use the pkg_resources api from the Python stdlib.
Currently (this will be fixed in 1.3) there is no public API for computing
paths.

import pkg_resources

asset_path = 'mypackage:static/favicon.ico'
package, file = asset_path.split(':', 1)
abs_path = pkg_resources.resource_filename(package, file)
last_access_time = os.stat(abs_path)[8]

 I wrote a Mako template def like this but it fails at : here =
 os.path.dirname(__file__)

 %def name=appendFileModifiedTime(**path)
 %
fmTime = -1
import os
here = os.path.dirname(__file__)
path = os.path.join(here,path)
if os.path.exists(path):
fmTime = os.stat(path)[8]
else:
fmTime = -999

path = path +'?%s'%fmTime

return path

 /%def
