Nutshell

Here a small example of a Quik template

<ul>
    #for @user in @users:
        #if @user.age > 18:
        <li><a href="@user.url">@user.username</a></li>
        #end
    #end
</ul>

Use It

Render via template:

from quik import FileLoader

loader = FileLoader('html')
template = loader.load_template('index.html')
print template.render({'author': 'Thiago Avelino'},
                      loader=loader).encode('utf-8')

Render via string:

from quik import Template

temp = Template("""
<ul>
    #for @user in @users:
        #if @user.age > 18:
        <li><a href="@user.url">@user.username</a></li>
        #end
    #end
</ul>
""")

users = [
    {'username': 'foo', 'url': 'http://...', 'age': 25},
    {'username': 'bar', 'url': 'https://...', 'age': 18}]

print temp.render(locals())
