So, instead of returning a specific key in every action, you suggest to wrap every action in a specific decorator? If anything, that's slightly more declarative, but by no means less error-prone or repetitive. The better solutions were suggested. And since when is importing models in templates a bad thing? Executing controller code logic in there certainly is, and I would have preferred the variable_providers approach. Which is by the way set up in app_cfg.py like this: base_config.variable_provider = variable_provider But declaring that it's bad to have a essentially static SQL query inside master.html is IMHO nothing but "foolish consistency" with some pattern-books' contents.
