Conceptually, this is the same as giving any module to access the
web2py helpers...you will need to make them available within the
namespace. I did a quick test:
>>> content = "{{from gluon.html import *}}{{=A('hello world')}}"
>>> render(content=content)
'<a>hello world</a>'
So it works! Other things you might need are:
from gluon.http import *
from gluon.validators import *
from gluon.sqlhtml import *
As with the old local_import, if you want request, session, cache, T,
db(s) they will need to be passed in the context. For example:
context.db = db
context.request = request
Hope that clarifies it for you.
