Hi -

Very new and struggling a little. The Mako community could benefit greatly 
from more examples on the website - if I every "get it" I'll try to 
contribute.

I'm trying to use Mako NOT for html page output but to create a relative 
simple way for a client to format output from another script. What I was 
hoping to do was pass a dictionary into the render  and then reassign the 
different pieces of the dict to variable names in the template. 

Seems that if I ever have a ${} on the right hand side of any assignment 
then I get an error... 

<%
foo= 'some values'
%>
${foo}

works but if I try

<%
foo= ${somevariable}
%>
${foo}


it always generates an error.

Am I simply not going to be able to do this?
