Google App Engine: template not working when displaying html form -

in python code have

    the_button = '''<form action="/edit" method="get" >                     <input type="submit" name="edit" value="edit" />                     </form>'''      template_values = { 'the_button':the_button }     path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'the.html')     self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values)) 

the problem when see in page show button non-clickable, when view page source of html doesn't show code.

what problem?

thanks!

webapp escaping raw html.
try add safe filter this:

{{  the_button|safe }}   

from django documentation:

safe
marks string not requiring further html escaping prior output.
when autoescaping off, filter has no effect.

edit:
unluckily google app engine out of box runs django 0.96 not have feature.
have 2 options:

1. install more recent version of django (django-nonrel)
2. ask why need pass raw risky html snippet controller view.
   move button view instead, allowing controller show or not using simple show_button boolean variable.

in controller:

show_button = true template_values = { 'show_button':show_button } path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'the.html') self.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values)) 

in the.html

{%if show_button  %}     <form action="/edit" method="get" >                     <input type="submit" name="edit" value="edit" />                     </form> {% endif %}
