Get variables out of mako Template.render() objects in python?

Question

Is there a way to get the variables from a Template object that was previously created with Template.render(...) in python? I couldn't find any getters in the docs...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Your question contains a wrong assumption:

from a Template object that was previously created with Template.render(...)

According to the code , Template.render() or Template.render_unicode() return a byte string or a unicode object, respectively (no "Template object"!). In that case, there is no way to retrieve the variables used for rendering the template, that information is lost.
