I'm trying to get template inheritance working they way it is described in
this thread, but get the error message below when I try to load the
templates: " LookupError: Unknown expression type: 'load'."
Template 1: base.xml

Malthe,
Thanks for the quick reply! I read the documentation twice to find
out what I was doing wrong. Did I miss a paragraph about load and
file-based templates?
Anyway: my application uses string-based templates. The contents
of all files *.x
OK, but isn't there a way to pass the
dictionary 'template' to the template 'default' such that this
template refers to the 'base' macro in template['base']?
Presently, the templates are read from a filesystem, but in future
I would like to be able to read them fr

I like Chameleon. But I dont like doing layout through macros. So I started
using "wrapper" feature of Pyramid. You just do "layout" view.
Then in view_config you specify wrapper="my_layout_view". Now in your view
template there is not any mention of layout, it is just template. And now

Have you looked at Jinja2 ? You can customize the escape characters so
that it nearly looks like Mako (or Moustache). Not sure if it suits your
other needs, but it has pretty decent template inheritance and macros.
I'm prototyping some 'user editable templates' with Jinja2 and the sandbox

Or maybe I should just ask, what are the remaining things you can do in
Chameleon that you can't do in Mako? I'm interested in the well-formed XML
guarantee and Pyramid's Chameleon internationalization support. But on the
other hand the Chameleon syntax is so different it's a large learning

Also, is there a way to make Chameleon put its compiled templates in a
different directory from the source? On my server the source directory will
be read-only at runtime. Or is there a command to precompile all templates
in one step?

Are there any good examples around of using Chameleon with a site template

provides a standard and header/footer, with the page template
