Hello,

I've asked a question before about using Jinja2 with Twisted.Web, but now I have a more general question about rendering HTML docs within a Twisted web application.

All the examples on TwistedMatrix.com and the txTemplate adapter show that you pass the web page by either returning it as a string from render_Get or as a param in .render(). Is this true for all cases? This seems a bit inefficient when you have a file larger than <html><body> Hello, World!</body></html>.

I've written an HTML file complete with .css and .js. How to I pass that document to my Twisted.Web resource? When I use the code below, the context replaces all markup from my HTML file. How do I get around this? How do you pass a larger HTML file to Twisted.Web?

from twisted.application import internet

from twisted.web import server
from twisted.internet import reactor

import txtemplate

TEMPLATE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)),"templates")

class ThreadResource(Resource):
    def __init__(self):
        resource.Resource.__init__(self)
        self.loader = txtemplate.Jinja2TemplateLoader(TEMPLATE_DIR)
    
    def getChild(self, name, request):
         return self
    def render_GET(self, request):
    template_name = "base.html"
        template = self.loader.load(template_name)
        context = {"greeting": "Enter"}
 
        def cb(content):
            request.write(content)
            request.setResponseCode(200)
            request.finish()
 
    d = template.render(**context)
        d.addCallback(cb)
        return server.NOT_DONE_YET

site = server.Site(ThreadResource())
reactor.listenTCP(8888, site)
reactor.run()
