This is a maintained fork of the original Tenjin template engine, which is no longer actively maintained.

Original project: https://pypi.org/project/Tenjin/

About

PyTenjin is a very fast and full-featured template engine. You can embed Python statements and expressions into your template file. PyTenjin converts it into Python script and evaluates it.

Features

• Very fast: Approximately 10x faster than Django, 4x faster than Cheetah, 2x faster than Mako
• Full featured:
  • Nestable layout templates
  • Partial templates
  • Fragment caching
  • Capturing
  • Preprocessing
• Easy to learn: Simple and intuitive syntax

Installation

pip install pytenjin

Quick Example

Template file (table.pyhtml):

<?py #@ARGS items ?>
<table>
  <?py for item in items: ?>
  <tr>
    <td>{=item=}</td>
  </tr>
  <?py #end ?>
</table>

Python code:

import tenjin
from tenjin.helpers import *

engine = tenjin.Engine()
context = {'items': ['AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC']}
html = engine.render('table.pyhtml', context)
print(html)

Output:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>AAA</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>BBB</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>CCC</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Template Syntax

PyTenjin supports multiple expression syntaxes:

• {=...=} - escaped expression (recommended)
• {==...==} - raw expression (recommended)
• ${...} - escaped expression (deprecated)
• #{...} - raw expression (deprecated)

Note: The ${...} and #{...} syntax is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Please use {=...=} and {==...==} instead.
