Yes. py:extends can either be a string which points to the template
file in question, or it can be a python expression that gets evaluated
and is assumed to be a template module.
You could add something like this to controllers.py:
from turbogears import view
view.baseTemplates.append("PACKAGE.templates.templatename")
for each layout
Then, at the top of your template:
<?python
layoutname = "PACKAGE.templates.%s" % (ChooseALayout())
layout = __import__(layoutname, dict(), dict(), ["PACKAGE.templates"])
?>
And your extends can then just look like this;
py:extends="layout"
Hope this helps.
