Using Mako Templates in Pyramid with Google App Engine
Question
With Pyramid and mod_wsgi, to use mako templates you just add this line to development.ini:
mako.directories = house:templates
Unfortunately, Pyramid in the Google App Engine doesn't have an development.ini file, and I get the following error:
File "appengine-monkey/pyramidapp/app/lib/python/pyramid-1.0a9-py2.5.egg/pyramid/mako_templating.py", line 74, in renderer_factory
'Mako template used without a ``mako.directories`` setting')
ConfigurationError: Mako template used without a ``mako.directories`` setting
Is there any way to pass this environment variable?
Solution
I found out from the pylons-devel mailing list. Figured I would post the answer here.
The way to do this is pass it to the Configurator as a setting. So in the __init__.py
file make the following change:
config = Configurator(settings={'mako.directories':['house:templates']})
