I'm setup to use quixote with twsited and would like to use zpt (simpletal implementation). I had the following line which worked with webware but fails in quixote: return (template.expand (context, response)) I guess simpletal is setup to expect a stream(file) like object which the response object is not. I looked at the publish code and though I had a workaround, except that the some of the functions in publish are over written by twisted_http. Thanks for your help.
