web.render used to call a templating engine called Cheetah. As
webpy's own templating system became more mature, support for Cheetah
was dropped, but since many people had legacy code using Cheetah, the
function was left in.
If you just want to display static html, you probably don't want to
use a framework at all...you want Apache :-)
If you're just trying to play with web.py and want to output some
static html code, you should probably just use the template system as
described by Tzury and instead of writing a template, use plain html
(plain html will still render correctly). Using templates is the
preferred way to eventually generate dynamic content, so getting it
set up now will be a good investment in your time...
So, to recap what Tzury said...call in your webpy code:
render = web.template.render('templates/')
create a subdirectory called "templates", and put an html file in
there (say "index.html")
then, in your webpy code, do something like this:
def GET(self):
print render.index()
and this will return your index.html file.
Hope this helps you get started.
