Spitfire port forPython3

Project description

Spitfire

PyPI version

Introduction

Spitfire is a high-performance Python template language inspired by Cheetah. It originally started out as an experiment to see if techniques used in compilers were applicable to templates. Spitfire has been the primary template language for youtube.com since 2008 and is used to generate billions of views a day.

This particular fork is made so that Spitfire can work with Python 3.

Example

<html>
<head><title>$title</title></head>
<body>
  <ul>
    #for $user in $users
      <li><a href="$user.url">$user.name</a></li>
    #end for
  </ul>
</body>
</html>

Getting Started

Spitfire's syntax is extremely similar to Cheetah, however some directives and language features have been omitted. If you're already using Cheetah, simple templates will likely compile in Spitfire, and there are a couple compatibility modes to ease transition.

Performance

Spitfire has a basic optimizer that can make certain operations much faster. Using a basic 10x1000 table generation benchmark, Spitfire can be faster than other template systems and compares very favorably to hand-coded Python (the upper limit of performance achievable by compiling to Python bytecode). This is by no means exhaustive proof that Spitfire is always fast, just that it can provide very high performance.
