Thank you Alberto,
I tried with "tg" but it seems that on my TG version std is still
correct.
In fact my gaol is to set the tg_js path by myself because I want to
choose the directory where I install the js librairies. According to
your answer, I understand that this path is set statically in the TG
code. So, I have found where to change this path in the TG code (in the
startup.py file in the /usr/lib/python/site-packages/turbogears... )
but I don't like this solution. I understand your proposal to place the
path in the returned dictionnary to the template, it's flexible but
requires systematic coding.
So, I am a little bit disapointed and still not sure that I understand
the use of this variable.
Does that make sense to you ? I will be glad to read your opinion.
Thank a lot for your help.
Arnold
