Inspired by ctemplate and et, Mustache is a framework-agnostic way to render logic-free views.
As ctemplates says, "It emphasizes separating logic from presentation: it is impossible to embed application logic in this template language."
Pystache is a Python implementation of Mustache. Pystache requires Python 2.6.
The different Mustache tags are documented at mustache(5).
pip install pystache
>>> import pystache
>>> pystache.render('Hi {{person}}!', {'person': 'Mom'})
'Hi Mom!'
You can also create dedicated view classes to hold your view logic.
Here's your simple.py:
import pystache
class Simple(pystache.View):
def thing(self):
return "pizza"
Then your template, simple.mustache:
Hi {{thing}}!
Pull it together:
>>> Simple().render()
'Hi pizza!'
nose works great! :
pip install nose
cd pystache
nosetests
context = { 'author': 'Chris Wanstrath', 'email': 'chris@ozmm.org' }
pystache.render("{{author}} :: {{email}}", context)
