Consider that you might want not to use PSP. I've actually found that
it gets in the way of the separation of code and content, which is
important when the designer and the coder are two different people.
I design my mod_python apps like so:
template = """
<html>
...
<!-- have the designers place %(variable)s where necessary
in the template for doing performing substitution
during the processing phase -->
</html>
"""
def handler(req):
# Reload modules here if necessary
# Code goes here
# If you want to override the template, you can fetch it from the file
# system
req.write(template % vars())
Of course, if you're already married to the PSP solution, then there you
have it...
