ok... I'm slowing getting there...
now, I've got a file "test/views/testfigure/index.html" where I have
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>This is the testfigure/index.html template</h1>
<img src="{{=URL(r=request,f='../matplotlib/simple')}}" />
<img src="{{=URL(r=request,f='simple')}}" />
and a file "test/controllers/matplotlib.py" that provided the PNG
stream
<img src="{{=URL(r=request,f='../matplotlib/simple')}}" /> works fine,
but
<img src="{{=URL(r=request,f='simple')}}" /> does not
Is it a good practice to use a relative path or am I missing anything?
thanks!
