[mod_python] Using Templates

Hi Ron,

You'll need to show us the full traceback as there is not enough 
information to determine the problem. There may be a typo in your code, 
or is just in the email? Do you really have:

<%=loadMonth(req, =strDate)%>
                   ^
                  ???

Also you might want to put your python code in a block rather than 
enclosing each statement in "<%= %>". Doing this will make your code 
(and tracebacks) easier to read. ie

<%

from mod_python import apache, psp
from loadCalendar import loadMonth, strDate

loadPan()
loadMonth(req, strDate)

%>
