Code:
python_template('authors', 'title', 'tags')
python_template('#original_title', '#translator')
Same code, but different output because different input. And if there is a problem, it's because he mismanaged his *args. |
You can't call a python template with different arguments. Python templates are not callable by another template; they are callable only by the template processor using a fixed argument list. You can't save a python template as a "Stored template"; those must be GPM templates. If you want to store a callable python function usable by other templates then you define it as a "Template function", where you have control over the args list.
Said another way, a python template is like a GPM template used in an advanced icon rule. It doesn't have a name and is not callable from anywhere else.
