You can use jinja2 with web2py. I do not endorse it but you can, like you
can use any template engine. Just replace
def index():
return dict(a=1,b=2)
with
from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader
def index():
env = Environment(loader=PackageLoader('yourapplication',
'templates'))
j2 = env.get_template('mytemplate.html')
return j2.render(a=1,b=2)
mind that jinja2 is not smart enough to figure out web2py helpers and forms
so if you have
form = SQLFORM(...) # or other helper
return dict(form = form)
you will have to do
form = SQLFORM(...) # or other helper
return j2.render(form = form.xml())
Anyway. I do not buy the argument that this sandboxes developers. Lots of
damage can be done with JS code alone and this does not sandbox that.
Moreover you are crippling your developers for a false sense of security.
You simply need a policy about what can do in templates and a review
process to make policy was followed.
The jinja2 template can be thought of a subset of the web2py template set.
There is nothing that jinja2 can do that web2py templates cannot do
already. The opposite is not true.
