Is there any reason these colors need to be hardcoded "magic numbers"
(literal constants), rather than symbolic & programmatic?
For example:
{{if isinstance(response.flash,dict):}}
<div class="flash" style="{{="color:"+flash.color}}";
background:{{={
'info':flash.info, #light green by default 0.py
'warn':flash.warn, #light yellow by default
'error':flash.error, #light pink - blech! make that red by
default ;-)
}.get(response.flash.keys()[0],flash.some_var_to_hold
this_last_ugly_constant) # what is this? #FFC')}}">
{{=response.flash.values()[0]}}</div>
{{elif response.flash:}}
<div class="flash">{{=response.flash}}</div>
{{pass}}
(you get the idea that I dislike "magic number" constants ;-)).
There is probably some better way than this, but getting the constants under
application control is what I'm trying to suggest.
