Description

Migrated issue, originally created by Anonymous

the template:
<%inherit file="${layout}"/>

the problem:
NameError: global name 'layout' is not defined

when replacing the <%inherit %> with ${layout} the proper layout string is displayed

the solution (thanks to pjenvey):
<%inherit file="${context.get('layout')}"/>
