Can you drop a Python script into Satchmo?

[jc]

Hi,

Is it possible to drop a Python script (around 50 lines) into one of your Satchmo pages? Would this be embedding into the template code? I am experimenting with doing this but I haven't had any luck in finding out how.

Thanks again,

Jimmy

Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to achieve? It sounds
like maybe you want a template context processor, but I can't be sure
based on your description.

Thanks,

--Stuart

Or perhaps a template tag?

Oh hi. :)

An example of what I am wanted to try out is placing a script like this http://www.goldb.org/ystockquote.html and see if I can't drop it into a page like this http://demo.satchmoproject.com/category/book/fiction/ and have it print out some info on the page.

Hmm, you would use a view for that and then a template to display the data.

Or write a templatetag to return the most recent one.

Okay, a view and a template tag. I will start reading more on this via the Django site and see if I can make it work.

thanks!

a view OR a template tag.  good luck!  

Also, you may find even more help (and faster feedback) asking directly to the #django irc channel since there are only a few people in the satchmo email group (compared to the django irc channel), and what your trying to do isn't specific to satchmo.

and as I previously said, i'll repeat again, when you look at the django docs, make sure your reading the correct version of docs for what you have installed, theres nothing like trying to figure out why something doesn't work when following documentation that is outdated :)

Thanks, I will try #django and the their website to find out how I might do this...first thing that comes to mind is once I have the script in the page how will I call it? didn't think of that...harder than I thought. :) ..will read docs and ask on irc..

thanks all!

Jimmy,
The script isn't actually 'in' the html or template (as in loaded to the client).  It is referenced (or called) from the template (if using a template tag) or called before you load the template, and the data passed to the template (if using a view).

You may find it will save you a lot of time and headache if you put this current project aside for a short while and do a few tutorials first and build a few demo apps to get a feel of how things work in the framework.
