Re: using django templates to generate and replace a file

Thanks Kurtis,

It seems so obvious now! :-)

I can do ...

t = Template(open('users.template').read())
c = Context([get the users from db])
open('users.cfg','w').write(t.render(c))

Thanks for your speedy response! It seems I couldn't see the wood for
the trees
