katagami: a simple xml/html template library

Project description

This library is one of many Python templating libraries.

Features

Example

Make a HTML string with inline Python expression and Python’s for (Block structure):

>>> from katagami import render_string, myprint
>>> myprint(render_string('''<html>
... <body>
...     <? for name in names: {?>
...         <p>hello, <?=name?></p>
...     <?}?>
... </body>
... </html>''', {'names': ['world', 'python']}))
<html>
<body>
<BLANKLINE>
        <p>hello, world</p>
<BLANKLINE>
        <p>hello, python</p>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>

Inline Python expression

This feature evaluates your inline expression and output to result:

>>> myprint(render_string('''<html><body>
...     <?='hello, world'?>
... </body></html>'''))
<html><body>
    hello, world
</body></html>

By the default, this example raises an exception, evaluated expression must be str (unicode in Python 2):

>>> myprint(render_string('''<html><body>
...     <?=1?>
... </body></html>''')) #doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

Set the cast_string feature:

>>> myprint(render_string('''<?py
...         from katagami import cast_string
...     ?><html><body>
...     <?=1?>
... </body></html>'''))
<html><body>
    1
</body></html>

Also set the except_hook feature:

>>> myprint(render_string('''<?py
...         from katagami import except_hook
...     ?><html><body>
...     <?=1?>
... </body></html>'''))
<html><body>
    Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly
</body></html>

Embed Python script

All indentation will be arranged automatically:

>>> myprint(render_string('''<html>
... <?py
...     # It is a top level here. This works fine.
...     if 1:
...         msg = 'message from indented script'
... ?>
... <body>
...     <p><?=msg?></p>
...     <?py msg = 'message from single line script' # This works fine too. ?>
...     <p><?=msg?></p>
...     <? if 1: {?>
... <?py
... # Is is nested here. This also works fine.
... msg = 'message from nested indented script'
... ?>
...     <p><?=msg?></p>
...     <?}?>
... </body>
... </html>'''))
<html>
<BLANKLINE>
<body>
    <p>message from indented script</p>
<BLANKLINE>
    <p>message from single line script</p>
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
    <p>message from nested indented script</p>
<BLANKLINE>
</body>
</html>

Block structure

Indentation with C-style block structure:

>>> myprint(render_string('''<html>
... <body>
...     <p>hello,&nbsp;
...     <? try: {?>
...         <?=name?>
...     <?} except NameError: {?>
...         NameError
...     <?} else: {?>
...         never output here
...     <?}?>
...     </p>
... </body>
... </html>'''))
<html>
<body>
    <p>hello,&nbsp;
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
        NameError
<BLANKLINE>
    </p>
</body>
</html>

Note

  • ‘<? }’ and ‘{ ?>’ are wrong. Don’t insert space. ‘<?}’ and ‘{?>’ are correct.

  • Ending colon (‘:’) is required.

  • Block closing ‘<?}?>’ is required.

Encoding detection

Encoding will be detected automatically:

>>> myprint(render_string(b'''<html>
... <head><meta charset="shift-jis"></head>
... <body>\x93\xfa\x96{\x8c\xea</body>
... </html>'''))
<html>
<head><meta charset="shift-jis"></head>
<body>\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e</body>
</html>

Supported formats:

  • <?xml encoding=”ENCODING”?>

  • <meta charset=”ENCODING”>

  • <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”MIMETYPE; ENCODING”>
