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. It has been tested with Python 2.6.1.
For now check out the ctemplate or Mustache docs.
>>> 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!
