How to generate an URL with Pyramid and Akhet?

Question

I'm creating an Akhet (Pyramid) web application. How can one generate in a mako template the URL for a given Handler/view ?

I'm looking for the equivalent of Pylons' ${url(controller="users", view="list")

Answer 1

Akhet exposes the URLGenerator object as a renderer global, so you can just use url('users', action='list'), assuming config.add_handler('users', '/users/{action}', ...) in your setup.

Answer 2

You need to use route_url. It's available in the templates in request.route_url.

<a href="${request.route_url('import')}">Import</a>

for example
