Indeed, the fact that {{include ...}} and {{extend ...}} can't be
conditional is a problem if you need that. But if you meant your
template to be inherited from, it's not really a problem.
This is the decorator I'm currently using: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/149598/
.
You use it (in 'controller') like
@call_super(c='othercontroller')
def somerequestfunc():
return dict(somevar='something')
to have 'somerequestfunc' in 'othercontroller' called and have its
dict merge with this 'somerequestfunc'. You can adjust the
application, controller, request function, and indicate whether to use
the request, response and session object from the current request.
For this to be useful 'theapp/controllers/controller/
somerequestfunc.html' should extend 'theapp/controllers/
othercontroller/somerequestfunc.html'.
