ram imports: String list of Python statements, typically individual "import" lines, which will be placed into the module level preamble of all generated Python modules. See the example in :ref:`filtering_default_filters`. :param future_imports: String list of names to import from `__future__`. These will be concatenated into a comma-separated string and inserted into the beginning of the template, e.g. ``futures_imports=['FOO', 'BAR']`` results in ``from __future__ import FOO, BAR``. :param include_error_handler: An error handler that runs when this template is included within another one via the ``<%include>`` tag, and raises an error. Compare to the :paramref:`.Template.error_handler` option. .. versionadded:: 1.0.6 .. seealso:: :paramref:`.Template.error_handler` - top-level error handler function :param input_encoding: Encoding of the template's source code. Can be used in lieu of the coding comment. See :ref:`usage_unicode` as well as :ref:`unicode_toplevel` for details on source encoding. :param lookup: a :class:`.TemplateLookup` instance that will be used for all file lookups via the ``<%namespace>``, ``<%include>``, and ``<%inherit>`` tags. See :ref:`usage_templatelookup`. :param module_directory: Filesystem location where generated Python module files will be placed. :param module_filename: Overrides the filename of the generated Python module file. For advanced usage only. :param module_writer: A callable which overrides how the Python module is written entirely. The callable is passed the encoded source content of the module and the destination path to be written to. The default behavior of module writing uses a tempfile in conjunction with a file move in order to make the operation atomic. So a user-defined module writing function that mimics the default behavior would be: .. sourcecode:: python import tempfile import os import shutil def module_writer(source, outputpath): (dest, name) = \\ tempfile.mkstemp( dir=os.path.dirname(outputpath) ) os.write(dest, source) os.close(dest) shutil.move(name, outputpath) from mako.template import Template mytemplate = Template( filename="index.html", module_directory="/path/to/modules", module_writer=module_writer ) The function is provided for unusual configurations where certain platform-specific permissions or other special steps are needed. :param output_encoding: The encoding to use when :meth:`.render` is called. See :ref:`usage_unicode` as well as :ref:`unicode_toplevel`. :param preprocessor: Python callable which will be passed the full template source before it is parsed. The return result of the callable will be used as the template source code. :param lexer_cls: A :class:`.Lexer` class used to parse the template. The :class:`.Lexer` class is used by default. .. versionadded:: 0.7.4 :param strict_undefined: Replaces the automatic usage of ``UNDEFINED`` for any undeclared variables not located in the :class:`.Context` with an immediate raise of ``NameError``. The advantage is immediate reporting of missing variables which include the name. .. versionadded:: 0.3.6 :param uri: string URI or other identifier for this template. If not provided, the ``uri`` is generated from the filesystem path, or from the in-memory identity of a non-file-based template. The primary usage of the ``uri`` is to provide a key within :class:`.TemplateLookup`, as well as to generate the file path of the generated Python module file, if ``module_directory`` is specified. Nc
