    Template-engine

    Hi all

    I was in need for a simple template engine (like PEAR::IT.php) and didn't
    find any suitable. Yes, there is many templating engines available but
    most are far too complex or does implement some additional features in
    their syntax.

    So I created following and I'm asking comments - and yes I know there is
    couple not so pythonistic sides in code. Most of all accessing inner dict
    B straight. This is however first working version (started it hour ago)
    and I'm asking if any of you have something in mind that could help me
    making that better.

    This engine is non only for html ( in fact I don't use it for html but
    email-templates and some configuration-templates ).

    the beast can be found from http://users.utu.fi/mikrke/index.html
    (includes example how to use it)

              try python:

              def foo(self):
              ret=[]
              ret.append(self .header())
              ret.append("""
              Time is too short to rewrite parsers <br>
              ...
              """)
              ret.append(self .footer())
              return ''.join(ret)

                  Well. These all look very promising. At my situation (I have lot's of
                  templates originally written for php/IT) amount of work needed for using
                  them would be too much. (of course one could write down some regexp-beasts
                  or parsers to automatically convert them - I'm not that one :)

                  So currently I will stick on my implementation and for future projects
                  it might well be showtime for chetah/simpleTal.

                  btw. If my work is not useful to any other it might server well as
                  newbie-example how to use re.sub :)

                      EmPy has a lot of additional features, but they're all optional. Basic
                      use of EmPy for templating is as lightweight, if not more, as your
                      approach:
