We are developing a web based application in python on google app engine platform. I have different pages in web site. What I want is to have a master page like functionality like we have in asp.net where I have just on template and all other pages will use that. How can I do this? I am a beginner in python

What are master pages? Master pages are used to create consistency from page to page in a document. Master pages typicially contain page headers, footers, margin and column guides, and other elements that occur on multiple pages in your document.
To create a master page, go to the Output tab and from the Master Page menu and select New Master Page.
Master pages allow you to create a consistent look and behavior for all the pages (or group of pages) in your web application. A master page provides a template for other pages, with shared layout and functionality. The master page defines placeholders for the content, which can be overridden by content pages.
The master page establishes a layout and includes one or more ContentPlaceHolder controls for replaceable text and controls. The content page includes only the text and controls that are merged at run time with the master page's ContentPlaceHolder controls.
I think you are exactly looking for "template extending".
Create base/master html file in "templates" folder.
This will be base/master file where all theme css,js , html layout tags exists.
Add place holders for child html "content" in above base/master html
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
Add following code line in "child" template to use above base/master html
{% extends 'path_to_base_html/base.html' %}
{% block content %}
Child html
{% endblock %}
Thanks to this nice tutorial, http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/template_extending/index.html

If you're using Django (or at least Django templates), Django template inheritance may be what you're looking for.
