mako/ext/autohandler.py

"""adds autohandler functionality to Mako templates.

requires that the TemplateLookup class is used with templates.

usage:

<%!
    from mako.ext.autohandler import autohandler
%>
<%inherit file="${autohandler(template, context)}"/>


or with custom autohandler filename:

<%!
    from mako.ext.autohandler import autohandler
%>
<%inherit file="${autohandler(template, context, name='somefilename')}"/>
