Simple template engine for python
Project description
Lighty-template
===============
Lighty-template is very simple template engine for python (python.org).
Template syntax looks like django-template or jinja2 template. But template
engine code is easier and gives a way to write all needed tags without any
hacks.
Now it does not include all features django-template or jinja2 supports, but
I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
Features:
---------
- Stupid simple syntax almost compatible with django-template
- Pure python
- Fast. Looks ten times faster than django-template and four times faster than
jinja2
- Simple and compact code
- Template filters with multiply arguments
- Basic template filters included (now just 14 template filters)
- Simple but powerfull tag declaration - it's easy to create your own block
tags with writing single function
- Custom template tags can modify template on fly
Example:
--------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ title }}</title>
{% block style %}{% endblock %}
{% block script %}{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p>Some text here</p>
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
TODO:
-----
- More default tags (now there is no if, for, with and load tags)
- More default filters (date formatiing, strings saving, etc.)
- Some execution optimizations
- More tests (in progress)
- Documentation
