I know that ``mako.directories = mypackage:templates`` combined with ``renderer="mytemplate.mako"`` works. I don't know if ``renderer="templates/mytemplate.mako"`` works because I'm not an expert in asset specs. But it seems to be what the documentation implies. Perhaps the documentation needs to be made clearer or is wrong about asset specs working for Mako at this time. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
