PageTemplate

✓ from z3c.pt import PageTemplate

✗ from z3c.pt import PageTemplate

Compiles a ZPT template string and renders it with a context dictionary.

from z3c.pt import PageTemplate, getEngine engine = getEngine() template = engine.compile('<html><body><p tal:content="message"></p></body></html>') # For a simple render, use the template directly (requires context) # engine = engine # no context needed for compile, but rendering needs dict result = template({'message': 'Hello, world!'}) print(result)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 5.0, the package was split from `z3c.pt` standalone; previously it was part of `z3c.template`. If upgrading from older versions (pre-5.0), imports and API changed. Ensure you are using `z3c.pt` directly.

fix

Update imports from e.g. `z3c.template` to `z3c.pt` and adjust API usage per current docs.

affects: <5.0

deprecatedThe `z3c.pt` package now requires Python 3.9+. Python 2.7 and 3.5-3.8 are no longer supported.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.9 or later.

affects: >=5.0

gotchaTAL expressions like `tal:content` expect Python expressions, not paths. A common mistake is using dotted paths like `tal:content="context/some"` which is Zope-specific. For standalone use, provide a dict with keys as variable names.

fix

Use simple Python expressions in TAL attributes, e.g., `tal:content="variable"`.

affects: all
