Yes, it should still the be case: >>> from turbogears.widgets import Widget >>> class MyWidget(Widget): ... template = """<div xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#";><span py:if="test_param">True</span><span py:if="not test_param">False</ span></div>""" ... params = ["test_param"] ... test_param = False ... >>> w = MyWidget() >>> w.render() '<DIV><SPAN>False</SPAN></DIV>' >>> w.render(test_param=True) '<DIV><SPAN>True</SPAN></DIV>' >>> Can you post the example where it's not working for you? Maybe you're still using the deprecated template_vars and the code that's handling the deprecation is faullty, or there is a big, or, hopdully, just misuse... :) There are some new docstrings in the trunk hoping to aid in the lack of widget docs, it's not a substitute for real docs but a start...
