Is it possible to use Bottle's statement and functions from within a template?

[nikos.at....@gmail.com]

I was wondering if i can use the static_file() from withing a template as follows:

{{ static_file( filename, root=filepath, download=True ) }}

Can it be written like that?

And if can, then how i will be able to substitite the variables within the statement, in my case, filename and filepath with their values taken from the wsgi python file?

And in general, are we able to use Bottle's framework statement and functions from within a template system or we can use then from the wsgi python app?!

No. Templates generate text. `static_file()` does not return text. Why should this work, and how?

You are asking how to pass variables to a template? Please read the documentation. This is the most basic stuff there is about templates.

`bottle.template("template_name.tpl", varname=value)`
