ZC Buildout recipe for creating text files out of templates.

Project description

This is a very simple recipe which generates a textfile from a template.

The template can be everything, and may contain python-style string formatters. The values will be replaced with the options you set inside the buildout.cfg section.

Parameters

template – the template file

default: ${buildout:template-directory}/$(name)s.in

output – the output file

default: ${buildout:parts-directory}/$(name)s

${buildout:template-dir} is set to ${buildout:directory}/templates if not set in the buildout section.

Example

An example buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
parts=test.txt
template-dir=${buildout:directory}/templates

[test.txt]
recipe=inquant.recipe.mktemplate
template=${buildout:template-dir}/test.txt.in
output=${buildout:directory}/test.txt

avalue=foo
anothervalue=bar

Note that due to the default settings (see above), the template-dir and template settings are redundant.

An example text template:

This is just a test

template=%(template)s
output=%(output)s

This is just text %(avalue)s and %(anothervalue)s got
replaced. See?

The recipe will read the template and replace the strings yielding something like:

This is just a test

template=/Users/seletz/develop/plone/buildout/templates/test.txt.in
output=/Users/seletz/develop/plone/buildout/test.txt

This is just text foo and bar got
replaced. See?
