You can use the render() function:
import os
from gluon.template import render
mytext = cache.ram('mytext',
lambda: render(filename=os.path.join(request.folder,
'path', 'to', 'template.html')),
time_expire=3600)
If the template contains any {{include ...}} directives, then you must also
provide a "path" argument to render() specifying the file system path where
any included files can be found. render() also takes a dictionary-like
"context" argument and will render the template in the environment of that
context. If you need the entire web2py environment available in the
template, then set context=globals().
render(filename=os.path.join(request.folder, 'path', 'to', 'template.html'),
path=os.path.join(request.folder, 'path', 'to', 'included',
'templates')
context=globals())
