Practical server side includes with Python on Google App Engine

Is there a decent way to "simulate" server side includes using Python on Google App Engine?

I would really like to split my static html files up into smaller pieces for two reasons:

  1. They will be easier to manage from a development perspective
  2. HTML that is redundant across multiple pages can be more easily re-used and updates to the HTML will show on all pages instead of having to copy and paste updates
Solution

  • Just use template library (Jinja2 is pre-installed on GAE). "Getting started" doc provides examples.

    What you want to use instead of SSI is template inheritance.
