Is it possible to pass a list to the Template.substitute method and
use that in the template, like so..
g = string.Template(gametemplate)
print g.substitute(recap = "none", winner = game["winner"], loser =
game["loser"])
Then in the template...
<b>winner.team
Where winner.team would be the value of game["winner"]["team"].
Thanks!
Sorry, I meant dicts, not lists. Like I said, n00b question.
Basically, no. Substituted values are effectively put into the
template with '%s' substitution, so you'll just get a string
representation of your dictionary. You could play around with
defining your own custom Template class, but it's probably not
worth the effort.
The closest you can get is to pass a dict:
>>> import string
>>> s = string.Template("winner is $winner, loser is $loser")
>>> s.substitute(winner="w", loser="l")
'winner is w, loser is l'
>>> d = {"winner": "w", "loser": "l"}
>>> s.substitute(d)
'winner is w, loser is l'
