First, rember this is being called in the context of a py:extends, and you have matched a BODY tag in the extending template. item is the matched BODY element. So, what this is saying, is in the extending template, replace this div with the body text (item.text) and any nodes that might be found in the body (item[:]). Or, in simpler terms, dump all of the stuff in the body of the extending template HERE. > Also, what is the type of the objects contains in the 'item' sequence? item is an ElementTree Element object. Slicing it returns a list of its child ElementTree Elements > What value does item.text contain? It will contain any text that appears befor the first child element in the body (say you had something like (<BODY>Hello world</BODY>). I believe that wouldn't be valid HTML, but just to be safe, I suppose it is included. > Finally, what is the result of the 'py:attrs="item.items()"' attribute? > It is attached to the <head> and <body> match templates. I've no idea > what this does. This puts all attributes that are in the matched element (i.e. HEAD and BODY) into the final output. items() returns a list of (name, value) tuples of the Element's attributes. The py:match and Element documentation (http://tinyurl.com/gtjur) are where this stuff is documented. That's not a RTFM response, those were good questions, and it is often hard to know where the FM is.
