URL dispatching in web.py

Question

In Django whenever I have to use site navigation I use the Reverse resolution of URLs. This way I can make django -render- each new html page and pass that page whatever arguments I want to through the views.

However I am wondering how should I do this in web.py. For instance, I have a web.py template that contains a variable $user. At some point in the main webpage a simple button contains a link of the form

<a href="account.html">Account</a>

which redirects a user to his account page. Now, I need to pass $user on to account.html so that he/she can change his/her details. The problem is that since I can't directly link to account.html cause it's not a static page, how should I go through web.py and use its render method?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It seems to me that the best way to do this would be with a session variable. That kind of variable can be consistent across several pages.
