使用python mako时如何返回其他类型的数据

Question

from mako.template import Template

t=Template("${x}").render(x=[1,2,3])
print(type(t))   # <class 'str'>
print(t)         # [1, 2, 3]

t=Template("${x}").render(x=5)
print(type(t))  #<class 'str'>
print(t)        # 5

Why return is not a list or int, what do I want to get

can i use ?,But I was disappointed

t=Template("${int(x)}").render(x=5)
print(type(t))   #<class 'str'>
print(t)         #5

Answer 1

You can type cast to the data type you want, using

t = int(Template("${int(x)}").render(x=5))

or

t = [Template("${int(x)}").render(x=5)]

Answer 2

Thank you for your advice, but it's not what I want. The type of data I passed in is unknown
