Design problem, call function from HTML?

[bart]

This is the python way i have.

imgref = 'image.py'
out.write('<img src="%s">'
% (imgref)
in ASP.NET u can do something like this

<img src="<%# image() %>">

//allready loaded data
data

image(){
return data.img
}

Is there any remote possibility u can pulloff the same in python? Now
i have to process my data to display page and do it again to generate
my image (execute same code twice).

One solution would be to save the image to harddisk and then load it.
But rather keep it clean as return value.

something like Cheetah might help here:

from Cheetah.Template import Template
t = '<img src="$image">' data = {}
data['img'] = 'foo.jpg'
def image(): return data['img'] .... T = Template(source=t, searchList=[{'image':image}])
T <img src="foo.jpg">

....or you can access "img" directly in the template:
t = '<img src="$image.img">'
data = {}
data['img'] = 'foo.jpg'
T = Template(source=t, searchList=[{'image':data}])
T <img src="foo.jpg">

say that "data" changes, you don't have to compile the template
again, just issue a render command again:
data['img'] = 'BAZ.jpg'
T

<img src="BAZ.jpg">
