Dear Malcolm thanks a lot
I found this in webpy for generating cheetah templates by default
I call
web.render('index.html')Can you tell me where I can use this in Django or what part of django i need to use. As you can see I m fairly a newbie Thanks Anil index.html 1675 def render(template, terms=None, asTemplate=False, base=None, 1676 isString=False): 1677 """ 1678 Renders a template, caching where it can. 1679 1680 `template` is the name of a file containing the a template in 1681 the `templates/` folder, unless `isString`, in which case it's the 1682 template itself. 1683 1684 `terms` is a dictionary used to fill the template. If it's None, then 1685 the caller's local variables are used instead, plus context, if it's not 1686 already set, is set to `context`. 1687 1688 If asTemplate is False, it `output`s the template directly. Otherwise, 1689 it returns the template object. 1690 1691 If the template is a potential base template (that is, something other templates) 1692 can extend, then base should be a string with the name of the template.
