I don't completely understand why you really really really need this but...

def render_content(self, level):
    def _(ctx, data):
        try:
            fragment_name = inevow.ICurrentSegments(ctx)[level]
        ...

Used:

<nevow:invisible nevow:render="content 1">...</nevow:invisible>

It's a bit frustrating for me to keep answering while you consistently say
that 'nevow does not provide XXX functionality', can you please stop implying that nevow is a pile of junk compared to others?

Using macros of course and it's very easy to do, and the code I showed you already does that and no it's not too static because you can make anything that looks static a lot more dynamic, this is python not C++.
