Re: Layouts in pylons

Thanks for the replies guys..

I'm not a great at making convincing arguments.. Hopefully
I'm making
some sense.

I built an application framework with a friend based off
cherrypy.
It's basically turbogears but coded from scratch. We
basically built a
filter (or middleware) that can map request paths to a
layout
controller. For instance, you could write..

/secure/.* = controllers.secure.SecureLayout

This maps any request with the path /secure to a controller.
This
controller has a html layout associated with it. We then
take the html
from the response and insert it into the layout. This
functionality
allows us to add layouts to paths in a flexible manor. Since
the
layout is associated with a controller you can have that
controller
execute some code before rendering.

I asked about what other people are doing first because I'm
curious.
If you think this code could be useful maybe I can abstract
it out for
pylons.
