https://github.com/pulp/marrow.tags

The marrow.tags package offers pure-Python HTML (and other) text generation and a library of small reusable widgets. The following are a list of features:

• No additional languages to learn: it’s all Python.
  • You benefit from Python’s opcode generation and caching systems.
  • Compatible with all Python interpreters: CPython, Jython, etc.
• Usable as a templating engine:
  • Extremely light-weight.
  • Utilizes Python’s existing package management infrastructure.
  • Your templates can be packaged within a zipped EGG file.
• Generated text is optionally beautifully indented and clean.
• Out-of-the-box support for pipe-based filters.
• Plays well with others: templates (and widgets) can be treated as unicode strings.
• Fully unit tested.
• Compatible with Python 2.6+ and 3.1+.

Installing marrow.tags is easy, just execute the following in a terminal:

pip install marrow.tags

If you add marrow.tags to the install_requires argument of the call to setup() in your application’s setup.py file, marrow.tags will be automatically installed and made available when your own application is installed.

Development takes place on GitHub in the marrow.tags project. Issue tracking, documentation, and downloads are provided there.

Installing the current development version requires Git, a distributes source code management system. If you have Git, you can run the following to download and link the development version into your Python runtime:

git clone https://github.com/pulp/marrow.tags.git
(cd marrow.tags; python setup.py develop)

You can upgrade to the latest version at any time:

(cd marrow.blueprint; git pull; python setup.py develop)

If you would like to make changes and contribute them back to the project, fork the GitHub project, make your changes, and submit a pull request. This process is beyond the scope of this documentation; for more information, see GitHub’s documentation.
