Are there beautiful way to add variable in script?

I know that ways:

1. It's very simple, but it's not useful to write many javascript code in controller.

controller.py

XML('<script type="text/javascript">console.log('+myVariable+');</script>'),

2. In that case I have 2 script files in HTML. First contain my variable, second contain javascript code and get variable from first. It's not good too.

controller.py

def index():
    jsScript = XML('<script src="'+URL('static','js\myScript.js')+'" type="text/javascript"></script>')
    myVariable = '[[1,1,"text text"],[1,2,"text text"],...,[12,20,"tex text"]]'
    return dict(jsScript=jsScript,myVariable=myVariable)

index.html

<script>

    var myVariable = '{{=myVariable}}';

</script>

{{=jsScript}}

Also I can write all js code in first script tag, but that practice is not normal too. I want have python files with python code, html files with html and js files with javascript. I tried add {{=myVariable}} in js file, but it's not work, as I think becouse it's static folder.

Check out the ASSIGNJS() helper.

Dave S, thank you, it's what I looked for. In russian Book that helper was missed.
