Web-Templates 0.0.0a0.post3

Standardized templates for Python's web frameworks

This project hopes to cater for the situation that one is working through a tutorial for their selected web framework and reads “Provide a base template for your website”. Your thinking that’s probably important perhaps there is a standardized template only to realise that “The cake is not real”.

This package provides skeletal HTML templates for the different Python web frameworks one has used and will gladly accept contributions for the ones you are using. Hopefully, after a period of time this project might present the standard for such templates.

Background

A number of Python web frameworks and template engines exist none of which appear to offer a standardized base template. As a result each extention to these frameworks provides its own variation of a “base” HTML template.

This package hopes to provide a standardized skeleton for such packages and indeed the frameworks themselves.

Purpose

This package provides skeleton templates for other packages to extend. skeleton was chosen since it is less likely to clash with more customary terms, base and layout, used within web framework packages and their extentions. These skeleton(s) provide a standard structure, outlined by the package documentation, and are named and organized according to how they are processed

Example

A template for the RESTful package, which exists for both Django as Django-RESTfull and Flask as Flask-ReSTful, might exist under the following paths

flask/flask-RESTful/skeleton.jinja2.html
flask/flask-RESTful/skeleton.mako.html
django/django-RESTful/skeleton.DTL.html
django/django-RESTful/skeleton.jinja2.html

Installation

The package can be installed directly through pip

pip install Web-Templates

Bleeding edge installations may be done directly from the repository
