Use of Globals in Template as String

[Shane Cleveland]

I am needing to use a template as a string, so I can send it as an email from within my application.

The web.py docs show how to do this:

template = "$def with (name)\nHello $name"

hello = web.template.Template(template)

print hello('world')

But I need to use the round() function, which is not supported within the template. I was able to successfully pass this as a global when rendering the html in a browser, but I have been able to figure out how to do it with the template as a string.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Here is what you need to do:

hello = web.template.Template(template, globals={"round": round})
