Here is a dummy Kid template that will display any variable that you send to it, so later on you or a designer can replace it with the real template and see what placeholders can be used:
<?python
def template_locals(template):
for name, value in template.__dict__.iteritems():
if (not name.startswith('_')
and not name.startswith('tg')
and name != 'std'):
yield name, repr(value)
?>

<body>
<ul>
<li py:for="key, value in template_locals(self)">
$key = $value
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Please note that the template_locals() function may filter out whatever you like. All that needs to be done is to add more conditions to the if clause.
