tipfy.ext.genshi ¶

This extension provides Genshi templating support to tipfy. It is a port from Flask-Genshi, written by Dag Odenhall.

Usage is very simple: you simply need to import render_template() or render_response from the extension module, passing the template filename you want to render and keyword arguments to be used in the template.

handlers.py

from tipfy import RequestHandler
from tipfy.ext.genshi import render_response

class MyHandler(RequestHandler):
    def get(self, **kwargs):
        return render_response('hello_world.html', message='Hello, World!')

Templates are by default loaded from the templates directory from your application root. You can change this in the configuration:

config.py

config['tipfy.ext.genshi'] = {
    'templates_dir': 'my_template_directory',
}

GenshiMixin¶

A convenient way to render Genshi templates is to make RequestHandler extend GenshiMixin:

handlers.py

from tipfy import RequestHandler
from tipfy.ext.genshi import GenshiMixin

class MyHandler(RequestHandler, GenshiMixin):
    def get(self, **kwargs):
        return self.render_response('hello_world.html', message='Hello, World!')

In this case, request context variables are also passed to the template. Keyword arguments passed to self.render_response() override request variables.
