templates 0.0.5

Python templating library with templates included.

Python Templates is an Apache2 licensed html templating library, written in pure-Python, including popular HTML templates like Bootstrap.

TODO

Python Templates is a work-in-progress.

• Improve semantic components?

  • What should be a function vs class? Currently, it’s mostly just inheritance with methods. That feels basic to me. At the other extreme is an element-tree api with visitor pattern. I think the significance of this project is finding the balance between those too.

  • This project seems to go against “flat is better than nested”. But I like the idea of using regular Python for template features like: if-statements, for-loops, and inheritance.

• Add more front-end frameworks.

  • Reference: https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks

  • Normalize.css

  • Pure.css

  • Milligram.css

  • Bootstrap, add more examples.

  • Semantic UI

  • Foundation

  • Bulma

  • UIkit

  • Materialize

• Demo project ideas:

  • Link shortener

  • E-commerce page

  • Blog

• Include images, fonts, icons?
