"""ezt.py -- easy templating
ezt templates are simply text files in whatever format you so desire
(such as XML, HTML, etc.) which contain directives sprinkled
throughout. With these directives it is possible to generate the
dynamic content from the ezt templates.
These directives are enclosed in square brackets. If you are a
C-programmer, you might be familar with the #ifdef directives of the C
preprocessor 'cpp'. ezt provides a similar concept. Additionally EZT
has a 'for' directive, which allows it to iterate (repeat) certain
subsections of the template according to sequence of data items
provided by the application.
The final rendering is performed by the method generate() of the Template
class. Building template instances can either be done using external
EZT files (convention: use the suffix .ezt for such files):
>>> template = Template("../templates/log.ezt")
or by calling the parse() method of a template instance directly with
a EZT template string:
>>> template = Template()
>>> template.parse('''<html><head>
... <title>[title_string]</title></head>
... <body><h1>[title_string]</h1>
... [for a_sequence] <p>[a_sequence]</p>
... [end] <hr>
... The [person] is [if-any state]in[else]out[end].
... </body>
... </html>
... ''')
The application should build a dictionary 'data' and pass it together
with the output fileobject to the templates generate method:
>>> data = {'title_string' : "A Dummy Page",
... 'a_sequence' : ['list item 1', 'list item 2', 'another element'],
... 'person': "doctor",
... 'state' : None }
>>> import sys
>>> template.generate(sys.stdout, data)
<html><head>
<title>A Dummy Page</title></head>
<body><h1>A Dummy Page</h1>
<p>list item 1</p>
<p>list item 2</p>
<p>another element</p>
<hr>
The doctor is out.
</body>
</html>
Template syntax error reporting should be improved. Currently it is
very sparse (template line numbers would be nice):
>>> Template().parse("[if-any where] foo [else] bar [end unexpected args]")
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "ezt.py", line 220, in parse
self.program = self._parse(text)
File "ezt.py", line 275, in _parse
raise ArgCountSyntaxError(str(args[1:]))
ArgCountSyntaxError: ['unexpected', 'args']
>>> Template().parse("[if unmatched_end]foo[end]")
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "ezt.py", line 206, in parse
self.program = self._parse(text)
File "ezt.py", line 266, in _parse
raise UnmatchedEndError()
UnmatchedEndError
Directives
==========
Several directives allow the use of dotted qualified names refering to objects
or attributes of objects contained in the data dictionary given to the
.generate() method.
Simple directives
-----------------
[QUAL_NAME]
This directive is simply replaced by the value of identifier from the data
dictionary. QUAL_NAME might be a dotted qualified name refering to some
instance attribute of objects contained in the dats dictionary.
Numbers are converted to string though.
[include "filename"] or [include QUAL_NAME]
This directive is replaced by content of the named include file.
Block directives
----------------
[for QUAL_NAME] ... [end]
The text within the [for ...] directive and the corresponding [end]
is repeated for each element in the sequence referred to by the
qualified name in the for directive. Within the for block this
identifiers now refers to the actual item indexed by this loop
iteration.
[if-any QUAL_NAME] ... [else] ... [end]
Test if the value QUAL_NAME is not None or an empty string or list.
The [else] clause is optional. CAUTION: Numeric values are
converted to string, so if QUAL_NAME refers to a numeric value 0,
the then-clause is substituted!
[if-index INDEX_FROM_FOR odd] ... [else] ... [end]
[if-index INDEX_FROM_FOR even] ... [else] ... [end]
[if-index INDEX_FROM_FOR first] ... [else] ... [end]
[if-index INDEX_FROM_FOR last] ... [else] ... [end]
[if-index INDEX_FROM_FOR NUMBER] ... [else] ... [end]
These five directives work similar to [if-any], but are only useful
within a [for ...]-block (see above). The odd/even directives are
for example useful to choose different background colors for
adjacent rows in a table. Similar the first/last directives might
be used to remove certain parts (for example "Diff to previous"
doesn't make sense, if there is no previous).
[is QUAL_NAME STRING] ... [else] ... [end]
[is QUAL_NAME QUAL_NAME] ... [else] ... [end]
The [is ...] directive is similar to the other conditional
directives above. But it allows to compare two value references or
a value reference with some constant string.
[define VARIABLE] ... [end]
The [define ...] directive allows you to create and modify template
variables from within the template itself. Essentially, any data
between inside the [define ...] and its matching [end] will be
expanded using the other template parsing and output generation
rules, and then stored as a string value assigned to the variable
VARIABLE. The new (or changed) variable is then available for use
with other template mechanisms such as [is ...] or [if-any ...].
