HTML Templates (Sitemesh/Tiles concept) in Python
Hello, I am a newbie to python and web development. I am part of a fairly simple project and we are trying to identify an efficient way to design our html pages. The technologies at our disposal are javascript, html and python for now. Our pages bear a very standard look. Here is what it looks like. -- BANNER -- | -l1 | <- -> Logout | -l2 |--- | -l3 | | -l4 | CONTENT | -l5 |--- | | COPYRIGHT - l1 through l5 are links that basically target the content page and fill in. Each page via that link has a python reference to go gather appropriate data for the content page. We are using frames to do the banner.html, menu.html (the links page) and the content page. For the content page, how can we decorate it on top with the back/front buttons and logout buttons and botton with a copyright in every page. It seems error prone as well as bad design to scatter this logic in each content page. Is there a template logic like Sitemesh or Tiles concept that can decorate a desired page just before show time? Any other tips to help life easier are appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

We are living in the same source structure and did not want to introduce a newer dependency. I hope we can find a non-intrusive library/framework that does its job.

Stylesheet not respected
I was able to the see weird stylesheet behavior on opera, IE and
mozilla under
mod_python. Here is some python code that exhibited the behavior. I
have the body.css in the same folder as this file and the background is
set to blue. When I access it at http://localhost/test.py, the html
page shows Hello World with no blue background.
If i view source, copy into test.html, launch it in browser, everything
is good. Does the lack of .html extension in the address bar cause
trouble?
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.content_type = 'text/html'
req.write("""
Hello World
Hello World
""")
If I inline the style, it works fine. Any ideas why this happens?

Re: Stylesheet not respected
It was nothing related to python but how my httpd.conf was setup. My apache conf was set to handle files under this. When I said href="body.css", it was looking under test\body.css. My project src was way deeper and I was assuming that it would like for the css file where the python source is. I am sure this is a newbie gotcha...
