I've got an app which is using Pylons for the web portion, but have a
bunch of cron jobs that do data gathering and reporting by email. I
put this code in the pylons projectname/lib/ subdir so I can get at
the app's database code and such.
I didn't find any simple doc on myghty.org about creating html/text
emails outside of a web framework or the myghty server mechanism. An
example got me started at:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/MyghtyTemplatesInDjango
My take on it is like:
def create_report_text(self, msg,
template_dir='/home/chris/projects/foo/support'):
import myghty.interp as mi
import StringIO
sio = StringIO.StringIO()
i = mi.Interpreter(component_root=template_dir)
i.execute('support_report_text.myt', out_buffer=sio,
request_args={'vendor': 'Veni Vedi Vici', 'client': 'Ann
Elke', 'sysid': 'SYSTEMID'})
debug("support_report_text sio:\n-----\n%s\n-----" % sio.getvalue())
with template support_report_text.myt (not actually indented):
<%args>
vendor
client
sysid
</%args>
#
AUTO SUPPORT REPORT (not in templates dir with autohandler)
Vendor <%vendor%>
Client <%client%>
SysId <%sysid%>
and resulting (debug logging) output looks like (not actually indented):
DEBUG:parse: asup_report_text sio:
-----
AUTO SUPPORT REPORT (not in templates dir with autohandler)
Vendor Veni Vidi Vici
Client Ann Elke
SysId SYSTEMID
-----
This works but seems suboptimal.
Is there a different way to pass vars into the template than the
request_args param? Do I have to specify the args in the template
with the <%args/> tags?
I have no access to Pylons nice helper functions in the
usual 'h'.
If I put this with my Pylons templates, it breaks because it can't
find 'h' to resolve stylesheets in the autohandler:
Error(NameError): global name 'h' is not defined
Any recommendations for generating self-contained email messages with
embedded CSS information rather than separate, included CSS as you
would within pylons?
Thanks for any pointers, especially if there are docs on this usage
I've missed.
