template, static files, routes.py
Sujan Shakya
In layout.html, I found only one {{include}}.
Is it possible to use more {{include}} in layout.html so that we can
achieve equivalent of the following:
{% block head %}{% endblock %}
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{% block col3 %}{% endblock %}
How are the static files served in production servers? Are they served
thru apache/lighttpd or web2py itself ?
And why is it that the use of routes.py not preferred?
Thanks.

Django's because everything inside {{...}} is pure python. This means
there is no concept of blocks but in python you have function calls.
You can do
#based.html
{{def something()}}text goes here{{return}}
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
Hello world
#layout.html
<html><body>
<h1>{{something()}}<h1>
{{include}}
</body></html>
The def defines a funciton that you can use as a block.

This does not work.
Especially if you are wanting a default for {{something()}}
It always uses the first definition, because of how views are extended
and included.
So as long as you have the def something(): and {{something()}} in the
same template file, it will work, but going through "extend" and
{{include}} it will not work.
We discussed this and you were going to see if there was a way to
accomplish this, but never heard anything about it.

So it should not be the issue to plase at layout.html code like
{{=myhead()}} and only issue will be valid return of myhead().
is it?

{{try:}}{{something()}}{{except:}}default value{{pass}}
Yes this is ugly. I am open to suggestions.

{{def a()}}hello{{return 'world'}}
then
{{a()}} prints renders as 'hello' but {{=a()}} renders as 'helloworld'

function is not being redefined as expected. This is a simple example,
but in theory I would use this for say the websites sidebar not the
page title...
Any suggestions I have require changes to gluon and add support for blocks.
## layout.html
{{def title():}}
helloworld
{{pass}}
<body>
<h1>{{title()}}</h1>
<div id="content">{{include}}</div>
</body>
## view.html
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{def title():}}
I Like Pie
{{pass}}
Hello, Did you know that I like Pie... also.. The Cake Is A Lie!
I expect my title to be I Like Pie... but really my title is helloworld

helloworld
{{return}}
