How can I redirect to a new page after submitting a form using Jinja template?

I'm working my way through Google's App Engine Guestbook example (to be found here: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/getting-started/creating-guestbook)

I'm trying to redirect the output (the Greetings) to another page as opposed to the index.html where they're currently displayed after a user presses the "Sign the Guestbook" button. I created a separate page called greetings.html where I copied the display code from the index.html page. However, I don't know how to modify guestbook.py to make the output go to the new page.

webapp2 has a built-in redirect method:

return redirect('/some-path')

However, I think you would probably rather send the gathered data to the greetings.html template? Under the POST method, you could do:

template_values = {
    'guestbook_name': guestbook_name,
    # etc.,
}

template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('greetings.html')
self.response.write(template.render(template_values))
