Are you saying you want the client to be able to download a fully rendered
HTML document (as opposed to actually displaying the HTML in the browser)?
If so, you can do something like this:
def export():
import cStringIO
html = response.render(dict(test=test, stats=stats))
export = cStringIO.StringIO()
export.write(html)
export.seek(0)
return response.stream(export, attachment=True, filename='export.html')
If that is in the default.py controller, when you request the URL
/myapp/default/export, that will render the /views/default/export.html view
and return the HTML file as an attachment to be downloaded. If you want to
render a different view, you can specify the relative path to the view file
as the first argument to response.render().
