However, trunk is not going to include widgets anymore (replaced by ToscaWidgets, which loads templates lazily) so this problem will magically go away ;) What might work is the following: 1) patch turbogears.view.base.load_engines to add another genshi var to the engine config vars (if you can take the time, it woul be cool to add *all* templates that begin with "genshi", etc...) 2) import cherrypy 3) cherrpy.config.update(.....) 4) import turbogears (which can pickup vars you updated in 3) Alberto BTW, Question regarding TG trunk should be posted at the trunk ML instead --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
