Querystring arguments have limitations on their names

[david.marsh@…]

While working on a turbogears related project (seen here:  http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/bbdab36b87485267/2dbb30605d185aa6?lnk=arm#2dbb30605d185aa6), I have run into a small problem.

I am trying to use the word 'template' as one of my query string arguments. However, on line 290 in controllers.py there is an issue. Turbogears complains about getting duplicate entries for the keyword "template".

Upon examining line 290, the reason becomes clear:

_execute_func(_func, template, format, content_type,mapping, fragment, *args, kw))). The querystring argument is conflicting with the hardcoded argument. Due to the nature of the project, I cannot change the name of my argument to avoid this conflict.

Any work-arounds or suggestions would be appreciated

it's line 231

http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/browser/tags/0.9a5/turbogears/controllers.py#L231

and that is not hardcored in tg, we need to name the variable. somehow.

if someone provides a patch renaming it to _template I'm sure noone will complain about the change.

This was fixed by a patch at #1066 which I comitted at [1803] with a test-case covering specifically this scenario. I think I forgot to close this at that moment, sorry.
