how do you pass a dict as a parameter to <%namespace:def

[jjgalvez]

How do I pass a dict to a def when it's called from <%namespace:def>.
I would expect that calling
<%namespace:def param="${ {'id':123} }"></namespace:def> to work, but when I do I get an error saying I am missing a closing }
for reference <%call expr="namespace.def(param={'id':123})"></%call> works as expected.

the brackets probably can't be parsed in that context. either assign the dict ahead of time in a <% %> block or perhaps use dict(id=123) form instead.

Assigning the dict ahead of time in <% %> works, I was just hoping for a more elegant solution. Also I really can't use dict(id=123) which doesn't work either, because the key is x-on:click which needs to be passed as a string. Either way the work around works well enough, so thanks for confirming.
