And that sort of brings me to my next thought.  When I was writing
out my example I didn't really like the structured-ness of it.  It
seemed a little draconian to force all the images to have a small
version, but I couldn't figure out a good way to switch based on
the presence or absence of a key.  So, that, combined with the
width/height addition leads me to propose the following:

--image.glossary--
name::dir::thumb::file
image_one::photos2/events/2003/s4::small.jpg::no_headlights.jpg
image_two::photos2/events/2003/s4::::no_headlights.jpg
--/image.glossary--

--config--
def image_template_replacement_func( entry_data ):
    if ( entry_data['thumb'].strip() == "" ) :
        template = '<a href="%{dir}s/%{file}s">%{name}</a>'
    else :
        template = '<a href="%{dir}s/%{file}s"><img src="%{dir}s/%{thumb}s"'
+
                   ' width="%{width}s" height="%{height}s"></a>'
        entry_data['width']  = getImageWidth( '%{dir}s/%{thumb}s' )
        entry_data['height'] = getImageHeight( '%{dir}s/%{thumb}s' )
    return template % entry_data

py['image_template'] = image_template_replacement_func
py['acronym_template'] = '<a href="%{url}s"><abbr
desc="%{exp}s">${abbr}s</abbr></a>'
--/config--

--blog--
This is my blog with an $image(image_one) and another $image(image_two).
--/blog--

So, if the thing in the py dict is callable, call it and substitute in
the result, otherwise assume it's a string and substitute in the dict-
replaced % form...

Clear as mud?  Too powerful/slow/complex?

Later,
Blake.
