How to use Pylons / Mako templates to make an HTML email from a stand alone python script?
I'm basically asking how to "include" the plyons and mako files in a stand alone python script?
I have a working web site, but what I want to do is use Mako templetes to format emails that I initiate through a cron script. I want to do it this way to reuse as much code as possible, as sometimes actions in the web site generate emails.
I could 开发者_运维技巧make the cron script access a certain URL, and then use pylons to generate the email, but that hack has many obvious problems.
I have no experience with Pylons but to just render a template you can
from mako.template import Template
mytemplate = Template(filename='email.html')
sendemail("text@example.com", "me@example.com", mytemplate.render())
The "standalone" approach is basically the way Mako gets used with a lot of WSGI frameworks like CherryPy.
