z3c.ptcompat 0.4

Compatibility-layer for Zope Page Template engines.

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

• z3c.pt

• zope.pagetemplate

This package superseeds and replaces the old z3c.pt.compat, please use z3c.ptcompat instead.

Usage

Import page template classes directly from this package:

>>> from z3c.ptcompat import PageTemplateFile
>>> from z3c.ptcompat 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.ptcompat import bind_template
>>> from z3c.ptcompat 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)
