For example, In a django view, I write this : from jinja2 i...

I'm a front end developer, and I've been trying to get a hang on using Jinja2 effectively. I want to tweak a current site so it has multiple base templates using inheritance, it fully uses block tags to substitute content and override it, and uses macros to support passing of arguments. My base template contains this code (edited for si...
I am using Jinja2 to generate HTML files which are typically very huge in size. I noticed that the generated HTML had a lot of whitespace. Is there a pure-Python tool that I can use to minimize this HTML? When I say "minimize", I mean remove unnecessary whitespace from the HTML (much like Google does -- look at the source for google.com,...
Does Jinja2 support template-relative paths e.g. %(here)s/other/template.html, to include other templates relative to the current template's place in the filesystem? ...
Hello, I have started using Jinja2 as my templating engine on Google App Engine (in Python). My question is this: Will bytecode caching work in production? It is working very well on the development server, but I read somewhere that bytecode caching depends on the marshal module, which is not supported in App Engine. This answer to a d...
Hello! I'm running the micro framework Bottle on Google App Engine. I'm using Jinja2 for my templates. And I'm using Beaker to handle the sessions. I'm still a pretty big Python newbie and am pretty stoked I got this far :) My question is how do I access the session data within the templates? I can get the session data no problem w...

Hi there, When designing a HTML template in my favorite editor (TextPad at the moment) I can view my code in a browser by pressing F11 or the appropriate toolbar button. I have my common css rules in a separate file so my HTML contains the code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="commoncss.css" type="text/css"> This works when the .css f...
I'm writing a couple of Jinja2 templates that basically implement some common grid layouts. I'd like to be able to share this 'library' of templates between a Pylons app and Django app. I've hit a minor stumbling block in that Django's template context is accessible from the "top-level" of the template, whereas Pylons wraps your conte...
In Jinja2, how can one access assigned variables (i.e. {% set X=Y %}) within files incorporated with include? I'd expect the following to work given two Jinja2 files: A.jinja: Stuff {% include 'B.jinja' -%} B has {{ N }} references B.jinja: {% set N = 12 %} I'd expect that A.jinja, when compiled with Jinja2, would produce the fol...
Hi, When creating templates I typically have 3 separate parts (header, body, footer) which I combine to pass a single string to the web-server (CherryPy in this case). My first approach is as follows... from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('')) tmpl = env.get_template('Body.html'...
When I'm running Jinja2 in Google App Engine, I get useless debugging information. I gather this is because of this item in the FAQ: My tracebacks look weird. What’s happening? If the speedups module is not compiled and you are using a Python installation without ctypes (Python 2.4 without ctypes, Jython or Google’s AppEngine) J...

I am trying to install Jinja2 on a web server. I tried running the command "easy_install Jinja2" as they suggested and got an error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/test-easy-install-15897.write-test' I thought that since this was a permission problem, I tried the same thing with "sudo". I was asked ...
I have a custom tag in Jinja2 that I want to output something only the first time that it is called. So say I have the following template: 1. {% only_once %} 2. {% only_once %} 3. {% only_once %} I want the output to be: 1. "I only get printed once!" 2. 3. I'm guessing the best way to do this is to set a flag in the context of the...
