| Choco Templates for Python |
|---|
| Choco is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML |
| syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Choco's |
| syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django |
| templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Choco is an embedded |
| Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas |
| of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most |
| straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close |
ties to Python calling and scoping semantics. |

${makerow(row)}

<%def name="makerow(row)">

<td>${name}</td>\

</%def>UI tag is inspired by EmberJs Handlebarjs tempalte.
This is an UI Page
<%@ PostView(post_id)/>This is a Post View
Name: ${post.title}
Content: ${post.content}def create_ui_container():
from choco.ui import UIContainer, UIModule
ui_container = UIContainer(["template/ui"])
class PostView(UIModule):
default_template = "post.html"
def initialize(self):
self.thing = Thing("Post")
def render(self, post_id):
post = self.thing.getByPostId(post_id)
return {
"post": post
}
ui_container.put_ui("PostView", PostView)
return ui_container
tl2 = lookup.TemplateLookup(directories=["template"], ui_container=create_ui_container())
t12.get_template("index.html").render(post_id=122)Python is a great scripting language. Don't reinvent the wheel...your templates can handle it !
