Re: [Cheetahtemplate-discuss] can't fill templates from strings

[Doug W. <do...@so...>]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the reply.

Your example works fine. I must be misunderstanding something about  
using inheritence in my templates because the problem only manifests  
with them. I'll try to boil this down to a small test case if  
necessary, but before I do that, here are what seem like the relevant  
bits:

source text:
	#extends sonosphere
sonosphere.tmpl:
	#extends basepage
basepage.tmpl:
	#extends rootpage
	#implements respond
rootpage.py:
	class rootpage(Template):

These are all in the same directory.

Is the "#implements respond" necessary in templates which inherit from  
basepage?

Also, I have no idea why, but this fixes the problem if I invoke it  
before my templates:
import tempfile
if tempfile.tempdir == None and tempfile.gettempdir() == '/tmp' and  
sys.platform == 'darwin':
	tempfile.tempdir = '/private/tmp'

I'm running in a CGI context if that matters, but my web server is on  
localhost and runs as me, not "nobody" or "www".

Also, I'm inserting my template directory at the front of sys.path.

Thanks
Doug
