Found it. Turbogears has a nice way of handling this using
'turbogears.view.render'.
For example:
return turbogears.view.render(info=dict(xpos=x, ypos=y),
template='webapp.templates.window')
Will return the string with variables from info inserted into template.
Default encoding is html but that can be changed.

Hi, I've been rummaging around in the documentation but this has
eluded me.
I've got a url mapping to an ajax call. The intention is to return a
lump of html that's injected into the page client side.
So ideally, my ajax call should return a string which is the product
of a kid template with some variable insertions.
Question is, how do I manually call kid to generate a string given a
kid template and a variable dictionary?
There may be another way, but in TurboStan to render Kid fragments, I
just do something like this:
import kid
s = "some kid template stuff"
template = kid.Template(source = s) return template.serialize()
I use **kwargs cause I just transparently pass user-supplied info, but
you'd probably use source = "<template>".
