In your code for self.widget you return dict(w=w,kw=kw,page=self.page). Since this is the dict that gets passed to your template engine, you should have kw there, except you changed something on your code in the meantime...
It would be great if you could maybe create a minimal (not-)working example of what and how you are trying to achieve and dump it to gist.github.com maybe. Then we could provide some more solid support.... Am Freitag, 26.
