Actually I wanted to keep things simple for who writes the template, so I am using this workaround: I define a class class ClassMapper: def __init__(self,dict={}): self.__dict=dict def getValue(self,str): try: return self.__dict[str] except KeyError: return "" x=ClassMapper(dict) Template(definition, searchList=[{"info":x.getValue}]) so the user should do $info("name") Maybe I could define a class that implements a dictionary and doesn''t raise an exception for a key not present... but it seems to complicated.
