z3c.pt.compat 0.3

Compatibility-layer for Zope Page Template engines.

This package implements a compatibility-layer between the following Zope Page Template engines:

• z3c.pt

• zope.pagetemplate

Usage

Use the following import-clause:

>>> from z3c.pt.compat import ViewPageTemplateFile

If the environment-variable PREFER_Z3C_PT is set to a true value, the z3c.pt engine will be used instead of zope.pagetemplate.

Binding methods

Two methods are available to bind templates and template macros to a view:

>>> from z3c.pt.compat import bind_template
>>> from z3c.pt.compat import bind_macro

Both function return render-methods that accept keyword arguments which will be passed to the template.

>>> render = bind_template(template, view)
>>> render = bind_macro(template, view, request, macro)
