Template file name always output file name?

[Christian Wutte]

Hello there,
I have another question: is it possible to set the output filename
independently from the template file?

Thank you, BR,
Christian

sure, Template accepts a parameter module_filename that overrides the filename, and TemplateLookup accepts a parameter modulename_callable so that you can pass a function which applies a naming scheme to all templates.

def name_module(source_path, uri):
return os.path.abspath(
os.path.join(
os.path.normpath("/var/tmp"),
uri + ".py"
)
)

lookup = TemplateLookup(directories="/foo/bar", modulename_callable=name_module)
