Scripts API

In addition to all the python stuff you know, there are several special variables and functions you should know.

input_data

This is the input data from the "input textarea"

request

This is the http request.

*log(args)

This is the primary output function. print won't work.

render_response(context, template = None, request = None)

This renders the response as html instead of plain text. context is a dict. template will be copied from input_data if None. request will be set as the current request if None.
