Explain here what is the purpose of iw.recipe.template.

How to use iw.recipe.template ?
=====================

We need some buildout vars::

>>> data_dir = join(test_dir, 'data')
>>> parts_dir = join(data_dir, 'parts')
>>> buildout = {'instance': {'location': test_dir},
... 'buildout': {'directory': test_dir,
... 'install-from-cache': False,
... 'download-cache':False,
... 'parts-directory': parts_dir}}
>>> name = 'template'

And a template::

>>> template = join(data_dir, 'template.py_impl')
>>> open(template, 'w').write('''My template is named "$name"''')

Then, the recipe should work::

>>> from iw.recipe.template import Recipe
>>> options = {}
>>> options['source'] = template
>>> options['destination'] = join(data_dir, 'template.py')
>>> recipe = Recipe(buildout, name, options)
>>> filename = recipe.install()

Here is the result::

>>> print open(options['destination']).read()
My template is named "template"
