Configuration¶
Most settings can be provided as keyword-arguments to the template constructor classes.
There are certain settings which are required at environment
level. Acceptable values are "0", "1", or the literals
"true" or "false" (case-insensitive).
General usage¶
The following settings are useful in general.
CHAMELEON_EAGER- Parse and compile templates on instantiation.
CHAMELEON_CACHE
When set to a file system path, the template compiler will write its output to files in this directory and use it as a cache.
This not only enables you to see the compiler output, but also speeds up startup.
CHAMELEON_RELOAD- This setting controls the default value of the
auto_reloadparameter.
Development¶
The following settings are mostly useful during development or debugging of the library itself.
CHAMELEON_DEBUG
Enables a set of debugging settings which make it easier to discover and research issues with the engine itself.
This implicitly enables auto-reload for any template.
