Help! Problems using ${ .. } (Kid/template notation) with Python **classes**!

[sebe...@spawar.navy.mil]

I created a Python class called Company with some info I want to access
in template.

Should my controller return something like this?...

return {"my_object" : some_instance_of_Company}

If so, how access in templates??? Like this?...

${my_object["some_key"] } ???

Thanks!

BTW,

I'm confused because keys are usually strings but you don't quote them
in templates.
e.g. ${my_string} is right rather than ${"my_string"} why?

Depends where you want to access it. Inside py: attributes and <?python>
PIs you would access it simply as my_object; inside other attributes and
ordinary HTML you would write ${my_object} or short $my_object.
