Bottle multiple template variables

Is there any way to give the template multiple variables through bottle? i know that you can use template('mytemplate.tpl',var=var) and such, however, how can you use multiple variables?

values = {'name':name, 'gender':gender, 'age':age, 'address':address} 
template('mytemplate', var = values)

In your template, you access the variables as var.name, var.gender, var.age, var.address

The method which I prefer is this:

@route('/')
@view('mytemplate') #no .tpl
def mypage():
    return {"name": "Anne", "address": "4 Elm Street", "dob": datetime.datetime(1977,12,2,1,2,3)}

This makes handling multiple return statements much easier (although some people consider multiple return statements bad practice), and I find it is much easier to change the template file, as I don't need to go find it every time.

Or if you prefer the a=b, b=c, etc. method

return dict(name="Anne", address="4 Elm Street", dob=datetime.datetime(1977,12,2,1,2,3))

As you can see in the signature, one can pass any number of variables to the template by using keyword arguments:

template('mytemplate.tpl', name="Anne", address="4 Elm Street", 
                          dob=datetime.datetime(1977,12,2,1,2,3))

or like this

d = { "name": "Anne", "address": "4 Elm Street", "dob": datetime.datetime(1977,12,2,1,2,3) }
template('mytemplate.tpl', **d)
