Bootstrap Django templates out-of-framework
This is the quickest way I've found to bootstrap Django templates without using the entire framework. This is suited for "plain-python" apps without using all the Django types. You'll probably want to cache the Template returns for each given name, but here's the basics.
1 2 # Kick off django config machinery first 3 from django.conf import settings 4 settings.configure(TEMPLATE_DIRS=("/whatever/templates",)) 5 6 import django.template 7 import django.template.loader 8 9 10 def render(name, *values): 11 ctx = django.template.Context() 12 for d in values: 13 ctx.push() 14 ctx.update(d) 15 16 t = django.template.loader.get_template(name) 17 return t.render(ctx) 18 19 print render('layout.tmpl', dict(title='User'), dict(name='Bob', gender='M'))
