I would do it this way.. use the 'with' option, and return the file contents.

*Controller*:
with open(os.path.join(request.folder, 'static','index.html')) as x:
    file_contents = x.read()
return locals()

In the *view*:
{{=file_contents}}

I tried the following but it didn't work.
in controller:

def rough():
    import os
    file = open(os.path.join(request.folder, 'static','index.html'))
    return locals()


in view:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=file}}
