Making generic views use other templates like Zope3 ZPT

[jpaulofarias@…]

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to use other template engines with generic views.

I think making template_loader a parameter of object_list at file list_detail.py, with default value django.core.template_loader should make it flexible enough to use any template engine.

The user could, then, switch to zope3 zpt by adding a key on the dict of the url patterns parameter, like this:

from django.contrib.pagetemplate import pagetemplate

info_dict = {
  'app_label': 'myapp',
  'app_module': 'mymodule',
  'template_loader': pagetemplate,
}

Hope this will be helpful.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll add this when I get a moment, but if you want to write a patch that will make it happen quicker.
