I appreciate that you did some work on it already; I just think that my change might make plugin development simpler - you wouldn't have to worry about people who use static rendering unless your plugin used the cb_filelist or cb_pathinfo callbacks. > There aren't tests for anything in pyblosxom.

Are there some in the plugins registry which do? I just wanted to see an example of it in action without having to write my own. I'm really sorry if I came off as attacking you, that wasn't at all what I meant. I have a tendency to sound that way when I'm excited, so I apologize in advance. I just think that we need to find a way to make this work.
